Nice deck, Cricket's a cutipie, beautiful deer, and, the squirrel needs to go on a diet!

Happy Thanksgiving to all - give all these babies a special feast tomorrow!

Thanks for the compliments on the deck. We designed it but had it built by a local company. We then had 7 yards of rock delivered. PapaWick and I spread that and also did a perimeter around our back boundary. Everything turned out better than we imagined.

@MamaWick

W O N D E R F U L job Wick's - I applaud you. Love the ceiling fan, the space is so nice, clean and sweetly done.

Great spot for a relaxing tea and some conversation - or just for watching the day turn to night.

I keep water out on our patio cinderblock fence wall (I'm a city dweller living in a row home).

All the critters (opossum, racoons, birds, feral cats and squirrels are thirsty, so we help em get the clean stuff.

The fence is wide enough for a few water dishes filled constantly throughout the day.

I also put out red and green apples, pears and sliced dates....for the birds we put out mixed unsalted nuts and breadcrumbs.

My cat Shadow loves watching the animals enjoy their snack, and he clack and chatters away at them from our patio door.

I so wish I could have a home like yours - surrounded by the dear deers.

That would be my version of heaven, animals galore popping by to say hi and grab a snack.

Cricket and friends look like they are bonding and enjoying the day! Even the squirrel is joining in. Sweet peaceful nature, always welcome!

Happy Thanksgiving to the Wicks, enjoy your deck and collect many memories while sitting outside enjoying the great outdoors!

MamaWick,

Your deck and surroundings are a little bit of heaven on Earth. You and PapaWick did a beautiful job of conceiving the idea for this sort of deck and carrying out your plan. Enjoy your deck and home in good health on this Thanksgiving and for many years to come!

Honestly, I get the biggest charge out of Cricket. I love her gutsiness. She is not afraid of anything. Her courage is admirable.

Your squirrel looks a bit different from my East Coast squirrel. Am I correct in thinking your squirrel is a bit larger and has a bushier, wilder-looking tail than those over here with me?

Very nice deck...looks like a great place to relax especially with the weather we've been having in Texas.....(74 and no humidity)

Great to see Cricket and the gang enjoying a nice sunny day!!!!.......HUGS!

I was ready to post a message and I realized I couldn't say it any better. My thoughts exactly.

Thank you for the great pictures of your heaven on earth.

@MamaWick

I'm thankful that I know when I come here - there is always something to make me smile - especially in the Spring when things were so scary out there

your deck is beautiful and I'm sure the criters think you built it for them

Happy Thanksgiving
