Moose does gardening work

Early one morning recently I came out of our front door and headed for our garage in back. There they were! Two moose, a cow and her calf! They were pruning our rose bushes and eating all the beautiful rose hips. I guess they know how to eat healthy and get their vitamin C.

Moose have been very frequent visitors this winter.
