The Farm

Our deck was installed recently! It covers the entire house with an exception of the front entryway. There are hundreds of these ant-like creatures with wings everywhere. I believe they are nesting under our deck...

A new herd of elk came by two days ago. There were about fifteen of them in total, and that's not much compared to the usual amount. There are herds with more than thirty! Last year there were lots of offspring galloping around with their parents. They were really cute. This herd fled to the hills when they spotted us taking pictures of them.

I recently found this tiny frog nested under a crevice in our container. I was climbing up the ladder that led to the top. I meant to weed the top bed. We are growing kale up there. That's when I spotted it. It had golden eyes that darted up and down as it looked at me. It stayed there even when I went over it. After coming back down, going to the house, eating dinner, coming back out, and making a fire, it was still there, planted in the same spot. I looked this morning and found that it had gone. I wonder how it got up there...
