I was working outside yesterday and decided to mow a little in the back, we have 4 acres and most of it is timber, so there isn't really a lot to mow. We just like to have some cleared to walk through with out having burrs or thorns in your way. For the first time ever, in all my years living, I found an antler. I have always wanted to find one! Strange to think that is something I have wanted, but that is the type of gal I am. I love walking in the woods, looking for mushrooms, and what ever great discovery that I find big or as small brings me great JOY. I love it when you see the little woodsy flowers just starting to open up. So I was very excited when I found my antler. I looked around for the other one but no luck. I was surprised how smooth it was. When I first saw it I thought I had run over a snake with the mower. Looked like part of a snake, belly up. Well that find made my whole day. It is those little things in life that make you so happy. It didn't cost anything, and by doing a little work out back I found a treasure.
Baxter really liked my find, and I suppose that since antlers are considered bones, he thought he should have it. He stares at it when ever I look at it like " ok, now can I have it! "
