住宅街から少し離れた所にある、遊牧地から６〜７頭の馬が脱走！馬達は私の家から６軒先にある家の庭までたどり着き、芝生を食べだした。大雪で柵も役に立たず、馬達は容易に逃げ出したのだろうと思う。午後には全ての馬はまた、遠くに見える遊牧地に戻っていた。彼等にはつかの間の自由だったようだ。
The snow we had last weekend started to melt yesterday, and we had a surprise!
6 or 7 horses escaped from their ranch which is located west of our neighborhood. These horses reached the house, about 6 houses down and started to eat the lawn. Probably these horses ran away from the ranch because the big snowfall helped them to escape more easily from the fence. However, these horses went back to their ranch in the afternoon. It was a short time of freedom for them.
こんなハプニングが起きた日の夜１０時過ぎ、今度は家の庭にいつもとは違う訪問者が現れた。暗がりで何か動いているようなので、またアンテロープだろうと思ったが、どうも何時ものよりも大きく、角の感じが違う。ようく、見ると大きな牡鹿だ。角もかなり長く、迫力満点。いつものアンテロープの時のようにお勝手の戸を開けるのもちょっと恐い。暫くして何処かへ行ってしまったので、安心していると、今度は自分の家族6頭つれてやってきた。今まで、家の庭に鹿がやって来たのを見た事はなかったが、この大雪で、なかなかえさが探せずここまでやって来たのだろう。ここは、野生動物を間近に見るのにことかかない。でも、また芝生にダメージが、、、ショック。
On the same day after 10 pm, we had visitors in our backyard. I thought it was antelopes again, but it was a little bit different from regular antelope. It was bigger and had big antlers. That was a big male deer. So I was a little bit scared to open to the back door, which I always did when antelope came to scare the antelope away. After a short time, he was gone but he brought his family to our backyard. Until this time, we didn't see any deer in our backyard, probably they were looking for food because of thick snow cover. We always can see wildlife near us but our lawn has damage again... shock.
