Adult White Reindeer
Last week I stopped in at Almaden Valley Nursery and spotted the most adorable white reindeer. This particular little guy reminded me of the real white reindeer up at Mt. Madonna County Park in Watsonville. We had taken the kids to see them years ago, but I hadn’t seen them in quite awhile. I wanted to go and see them again. Wouldn’t it be like ol’ times? 
“Hey who wants to go see the white reindeer?” I asked very excitedly I might add. The response wasn’t exactly what I had hoped for. “What? Where is it? Well how far is it and how long will it take?. The Niners are gonna play today, so I’ll pass on the reindeer thing Mom” was what I got from four different teenage boys. I had one taker, the husband (extra Santa points for him). 
There were 2 large male deer and about a dozen smaller does. The males would not come closer for photos…sounds like my household. The does were much more cooperative…also like my household! I know this has nothing to do with home or garden, but it all started with my little stuffed friend form the Almaden Valley Nursery. Merry Christmas to All.
