for a needle in a haystack. That’s what Jim’s been doing since Thursday. Remember that nice big buck that was hanging around here last fall? Yeah, this one, the one with the big rack. 
Well, all winter long we wondered if he made it through the hunting seasons and then through the winter. Right now, we know he survived the hunting season because he was nice enough to drop one of his antlers right on one of the trails we have out there. This is how it was laying when he first saw it.
See it laying on the ground between the arrow and the white tree?
So now he’s determined to find the other one. He’s out there searching high and low on our property, the county forest behind ours and even stepping onto the neighbors to see if he can find the other side. He went through this last spring too and was successful in finding both sides from the other buck that was around here. He likes doing this kind of stuff and has a pile of antlers to prove it.
For Toodie…here’s pictures of the birdhouses. The first one is inside out birch bark. The other one is the outer bark from a poplar tree.

Well it keeps him busy, lol. The birdhouses are really neat. I bet the birds just love them.

Not many wives would say their hubby’s look for big racks….LOL I had to say that you know hee hee. Thankyou for the close ups of the bird houses. Jim did ah great job on them. He could make ya a chandelier from those racks. I hope that purty buck is still around. We got snow here and it just started snowing again! Like the song says on my blog "pee’in in the snow, gaze’in down the hole….it’s the only thing to me that looks like Spring"
