View from my kitchen window

I don't have anything new to report today.

There's been no further progress on my sanctuary since last Friday, and we haven't heard from the builder.

Not sure what's up with that.

Until more supplies are delivered, there's little else he can do other than break through the pantry wall but I think there is more closing up that he needs to do of the roof area before he can do that.

But then, what do I know about building an extension on a house?

In any event, it is 9:30am now and nobody has arrived at the site, so ...

However, at 7:00am today, we had a visitor to the yard.

This is today's view from my kitchen window:

Isn't he a beaut?

John says it's a two-year-old buck.  Perfect for the freezer.  And he was standing just outside the chicken house, enjoying the feed John had put out for the birds!

Once my sanctuary is built, John will have a perfect vantage point from the north window to take aim with the bow, should this guy decide to visit with any degree of frequency (and deer are known for their habitual routes).  Of course, now that we know that he's been here once, John will "train" him to come here daily (not a hard task where we live).

Bow season runs to 31 December so this baby best be careful lest he lands in our freezer!
