In case it is difficult for you to picture husbands doing decorating here is the deer, dear scenario from a different angle. The red berries and green leaves on the shrubbery add to the ambiance of the season, don't they? Even though the red berries are probably poison, they still give a festive effect.
Linda, another dear, cannot believe her good luck that her dear husband has done Christmas decorating with dear deer! She is checking to make sure they are properly situated for visual beauty. We hope our deer become our neighbor's favorite things, but not too favorite. We don't want these deer getting borrowed by thieving neighbors. that would not be a favorite scenario.
You may think that Linda is admiring Barry's handy skills and she is. It's one of her favorite things. She is also looking for the optimum place to attach the lock and chain so she can keep these handsome deer in her yard. Dear me!
Our deer like to have their pictures taken. The handsome buck stands so proud. that's his favorite pose.
The doe doesn't care. She is enjoying the Christmas Buffet Grass. That would be her favorite thing.
Our very favorite part is how they sparkle at night, with golden beauty. The deer next door aren't as bright as our deer and they are kind of hidden behind balloon Santa.
Putting up the Christmas Lights is a favorite tradition, absolutely.
We hope all of you have enjoyed our Christmas light display. Your visits and comments are our favorite parts of the shoot out, dear friends!! (((HUGS)))
Inspired by our theme, Linda's cousin has just sent us this picture to complete our blog this week-----
Now doesn't that get you in the Christmas Spirit?
Lovely job, well done!

Your deer are lovely - they will bring much happiness to any passing child (or child at heart) who happens upon them. Hurray for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCute post. Love the deer lit up at night.
ReplyDeleteWonderful display. Nice to know about the relationship of deer to sheep in the Christmas season. Makes sense to me. Nice comment about visitors being your favorite things. Blessings

ReplyDeletenicely done! my parents have a few of those in their yard...and the one from your cousin gave me a huge smile. lol.
ReplyDeleteThe deer dangling is hillarious. The deer being over what looks like a chopping block? It is funny in a very twisted way.

Awww: pretty lit-up deer! Seriously, you have to chain them?
ReplyDeleteThat last photo takes me back to my childhood when there was a deer strung up in the backyard every hunting season. I would come upon it after school and examine it close-up. But there were never any lights on it, that's for sure!
Oh goodness, Barry and Linda, you have no idea how my granddaughter laughed and laughed when she saw that last deer. After much discussion she decided it was Dasher - who had been in a hurry and not looking where he was going! She and I would love to see them lit up at night! I'm sure they bring smiles to many hearts.
ReplyDeleteyour deer look great lite up! what fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if anyone else had this problem, but your link on the new mr.linky blog didn't work for me. ??
have a great weekend!!
Dear me!
ReplyDeleteA favorite scene that never tires, neighborhood Christmas lights and decorations. I love seeing what other people are putting up and making the drive around to the most dramatic light displays. Some people get very creative - but never, never before have we seen a sparkly Christmas Venison!
ReplyDeleteBarry I never realized how much I like those deer.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well and Linda is lovely.
Love Renee xoxo
Now I really believe in the saying" It takes two to tango and Two heads are better than one. Great content, great photos, original and unique idea of this week's photo theme. Congrats to you both the couple- Barry and Linda.
ReplyDelete"if we don't have favourite things, then we have to build them."- I like this line. And that line of Barry was carrying a deer. I got it late. lol. I like the transformation of the deer. More strength and power to both of you. It makes me feel better and stronger. I never tired of saying, thanks for the inspiration.
Btw, your link in Mr Linky don't work.
When you eat the deer stakes from that hanging dear, will you glow at night? Great fun, Barry and Linda.
ReplyDeleteOMG OMG...I am blowing coffee out my nose...giggle snort...that is horrid but wickedly funny..whahahahaha..Thanks for the smile this morning.
ReplyDeleteI loved all of your dear deer..wonderful shots and such a dear story!! Hope they say grazing in your yard!! Our sheep are moose up here..LOL!! Have a wonderful week!!
Giggle.....Sarah
I'm with Sarah on this one, except I blew Coke (you know, coca-cola coke) out my nose. Lovely pics and you and Barry are both looking like you've recovered nicely from Mr. Toast's Christmas Tea.
ReplyDeleteLove the deer!
ReplyDeleteWhat dear deer and dears. Not too sure about the last one, though. I will you a pass on that one.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and teamwork.
That last one is pretty funny :) I'm totally with you on this one - I love decorating for Christmas! I think that Sam is overwhelmed at the sheer amount of lights that I'm determined to hang around here :)
