Many years ago I slapped together some old scraps of firewood and produced a rustic lookin’ deer. Well, eventually it succumbed to the elements and I tossed it out. What I didn’t know though was how much the wife absolutely loved it. So I gathered some local 6-8” cedar posts and built her two new ones. It’s really funny how fast these things go together. I could easily produce many more. So next time you want to please your significant other, try one of these! I got a free apple pie for my time and trouble too!

No such thing as a free apple pie. But glad your effort got you something to eat.
What happened when you told her you threw the other one away?

Karson: That’s when I found out just how much she loved the old one. I remember she used to decorate it for the holidays as well, including a red light nose for Christmas. Hopefully this cedar should last for quite longer. Oh, she also makes one awesome apple pie, which reminds me…I think she’s due to make another one pretty soon! ‘Tis apple season here in NY!
