Murrysville is what is called a rural residential community. What that means is no sidewalks and very few streetlights (except on the main drags). It also means that we often have wildlife in our yard -- turkeys, deer, many types of birds; I'm sure that possums and raccoons are around, too, but we don't see them too often.
Lately we've been visited by an old Grandpa Buck -- just one spindly looking antler, gray muzzle. It will hang out under our apple tree and eat the apples on the ground. This morning there was a beautiful big doe visiting the apple tree. We watched her for about a minute, then she took off running... followed by a perfect 8 point buck from out of the pine trees.

I just love having wild animals around. This past weekend, Beth Cecilia, and I took a ride up to the place we hope to buy outside of town. There were 10 mule deer sitting in the shade of the house. We watched for 15 minutes, then one got up and led the rest away.
Mulies are bigger than whitetails. They must be beautiful to see. Was there a buck in this herd?
All were without antlers. It was beautiful to watch.
