Happy Halloween to you! In honor of the holiday, I thought I’d take a few photos of the critters I’ve seen recently at the house.
BIG SPIDER – at my front door. Glad he didn’t knock!
Cricket on the back patio during the day. I thought they only came out at night?
Dead Katydid at the back door
Sadly, dead moth who was feeding the ants as goes the circle of life.

But the best part? The deer who were just standing outside the barn after my last lesson. Sorry for the grainy photo, it was dark out!
I have missed seeing the deer in my new house. At my old one, I would see them passing by at twilight across my neighbor’s front lawn. But when I recently left a horseback riding lesson, while walking to my car, I thought a big dog was scampering past me. When my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw an entire family of deer a few yards away from me. How glorious for me! As I quietly talked with them, they stood there listening intently. It was such a precious moment! They even patiently waited while I grabbed my phone and took a few photos. This was the best photo of the group I got, although I’m sorry it’s so grainy. It was dark out, but I could see them and their eyes twinkling in the night.
I love deer. I’ve written about them before in my blog. I love all animals, even little Mr. Mousey who hopefully lives outside only. You know, I have two cats in my home whom I adore. Hopefully one day, I will even get a big dog, but that will have to wait for now. Maybe I won’t be able to get a dog, but perhaps someone will share theirs with me so that we can play fetch and romp with enthusiasm outside.
Happy Halloween from Tiffy the American Bobtail and her favorite Witch!
There’s something about animals that I adore. Sometimes, I think they are better than humans for they are more honest and loyal. The older I’ve gotten, the more attuned I seem to be getting with animals, especially wildlife. I wonder if it’s the Pisces in me?
I hope you have a lovely day.
Shine On!

Nice one! Tiffy doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to get any of those other critters, either! 😉
Nope! She loves sitting on the witch’s lap and snuggling. Every year she does that! I wonder if it’s magically filled with catnip! LOL
haha!
Come visit me anytime you need a deer fix. I’m overrun with them
Oh how lovely! They used to love to eat my hostas right down to the ground, but I didn’t care! I felt like I was sharing! 🙂
Animals are often amazing
I HEARTily agree! ♥
I sure wish my dogs would play fetch with me. I’m afraid they are as serious as I am. 😦
Ah, but there’s something good to be said about serious pups too! 🙂
Oh yes. They are cuddle buddies. When I work at home, they make an effort to take turns so that everyone gets the sweet spot!
I love that Karel! Such a good mommy you are!
I loved your post (as always) and your Tiffy looks eerily like my Amber kitty did- beautiful. Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween Saymber! I love that our kitties look similar! Thank you! xo
Pets are a saving grace from God to mankind. For in their responding to love so well, they compel us to be what God wants us to be; loving beings.

Absolutely Alan! I love our pets! They bring us so much love, peace and kindness! Thanks for stopping by!
It’s the Pisces!
I think so since we’re both Pisces! 🙂
We love animals too. I joke that I have a small zoo. I’m at 2 cats, a turtle, a dog, a fish, and 2 birds. That was our limit. I’m sure my daughter could have added a few more. I love their sweet spirits. xxxx
How lovely Laurie! There is something magical about pets, isn’t there? Sounds like quite a packed loving home you have there! xo
Yes. Lol! More little parts to love. xxxx
