Sunday "problems"

Well, I had every intention of showing a picture of the snow we are having. We woke up to snow... and I'd say we have about three inches - much less than the "lucky" people in Philly area! After having breakfast we went out to clean the driveway. As B used the snow blower I swept off the steps and then the car, which he had parked back off the driveway. Then I took a walk and took pictures. Just went to upload them and found out I left the memory card in the computer!! So, NO pictures. Will go out later, now that I put the card in.

We have not seen as many deer as we did back in December. On Thursday there was a deer we could see out our back windows who looked injured. He/She was favoring the back leg and was just standing under the trees. Every time we checked it was still there - then it was down sitting (I know deer don't sit but it wasn't laying down on it's side) It was there all day. Good news is that yesterday it was gone... so maybe it just needed a rest. Some of the people up here feed the deer. We don't - they eat our acorns and forage in the woods.... I don't want them close to the house eating plants which they do without any encouragement.

I'm in the loft now and the view out the window is really pretty. The trees are dusted with snow. Most are bare with branches trimmed in white. There are several pine trees that are now heavy with snow. The snow is not falling straight so I guess there is wind. Big, fat flakes that almost look like snow globe snow. From up here I can just see the stream that is a dark ribbon... due to the warm weather it isn't frozen. Will post pictures later....
