Buzzed

Yesterday afternoon I was sitting in the house when I thought I heard thunder but it lasted a really long time. So then I figured out it must be a plane that was crashing really close so I ran to the door and just as I did a CF-18 roared over really low followed by another one! No crash thankfully!!!! In my excitement I just had to call Yan. He told me they must have been casing out our house for terrorists (ha! ha!). He also told me I could call the base in Cold Lake & complain & they would never fly low over our house again, but why would I? It was exciting!
Too bad there was no time for pictures.

However also yesterday when I was coming back from the field after taking Murray his dinner I saw this herd of antelope.


Today after lunch I took this picture of a bison bull.

Sorry if I am boring you with all these bison pics but I just love these animals.
Every morning when I go out for my walk I see 4-6 deer in or near the yard. Too bad they are such pests cause they are really beautiful & graceful animals too. I love to hear the birds singing their hearts out the the owl hooting in the mornings
Often I don't realize just how blessed we are to have so much of
God's creation around us.

As it seems we won't be making it out the farm soon, I'm showing Nicholas these pics so he remembers! Thanks for posting.

Beautiful animals - we like to see them - a treat to us city people. I know those deer can be pests yet they are so graceful and majestic! Enjoy the wild like for those of us who rarely see any!!!!
