So we bought a new house and moved in on Monday.  It is not exactly Cincinnati proper but it beats being way out in Monroe.  Here is a picture: 

 

 

I went to the back yard and this is what I found:

 

 

I knew we were not exactly "urban" but I didn't expect deer in Kenwood . . er, Sycamore Twp.

 

(Moderators - Feel free to move this to another location; Didn't know where it should go.)

I live in Clifton, roughly 3 miles from downtown we get deer all the time. I love it  :clap:

Looks cozy and pleasant!

Congrats on the house. The deer are starting to pop up everywhere. Stay alert. ;-)

Nicely done!  Yeah, deer are everywhere...hell, I'm in Walnut Hills, close enough to walk to Reds games, and I've had deer in my yard too.  Even had a wild turkey cluck its way through the yard, down the driveway, across the street and on down the road!

Never seen bottles of Whiskey cluck before (while sober). :-D

heck - there are coyotes in Spingdale!

btw - if that deer is there again tomorrow - IT'S A STATUE! ;)

congrats BHG!   (now the fun begins)

Feed the deer and make friends with them, so they'll eat out of your hand. Then, when deer season comes around, you can whack one in the head with a hammer, avoiding firearms violations, and have free venison for winter! :-D

Nice house! I used to live in DP (Deer Park)

Expect that Silver Maple' roots to break into your clay sanitary sewer lateral looking for water...time for roto rooter

Rob - I don't think I could "whack one in the head with a hammer."  You must do things differently up there in Ft. Wayne ;)

 

We have some massive trees and yeah Mr. Sparkle it is only a matter of time :( . . . And the pear in the back is so thick and heavy it is beginning to split.  The tree doctor is coming in June.

 

And OTRFan we missed ya at the meet on Saturday.

Congrats on the new house!

I missed going, very disappointed.  Hoping for a shot at redemption sometime. Enjoy the new digs - good stuff

The first word I saw was Monroe!  :-o  :-o

 

Congrats!

Bradford Pear? If they get to a certain size, they are almost certain to break off branches in a storm, even the healthiest trees

It's a Braddock Pear we were told but it is basically the same so we are thinning it out.  I'm surprised branches haven't broken off.  When we bought the house we were told the tree has never been pruned and was there before the house so it has been there growing, as it is, since 1949.

 

Oh, and the neighbors told us a whole family of deer live in a the neighborhood.  Apparently they like living under and sleeping under a big grove of pine trees a few houses down.
