Brrr…winter! But some sunshine!

Breakfast 2-15-20

The deer have stayed away a few mornings when it was pouring rain. (I was happy for an excuse to stay indoors with my coffee.) Not today! It was 18º when I went downstairs, and the herd showed up before I finished my second cup. (You can see how frosty it was in the photo above.) The temperatures have continued to fluctuate wildly with more heavy rain, but at least we’ve had sunshine for the last two days. 🙂

I was at my school three days this week (volunteering once and substituting two afternoons). You can be sure that I washed my hands frequently! Being at school cut down on my walks, and I was happy to get out in the sunshine yesterday, despite the cold and the wind.

Except for the weather and the deer, there hasn’t been much to write about lately. The 2019 fawns are getting bigger, and it looks like several does are pregnant with this year’s group. Tom the turkey continues to show up most afternoons. Winter should be a time of rest, and I’m just as happy that there’s not too much excitement right now.

The bridge used by the neighbors in Dark Hollow on the other side of the ridge is back open, but the gate has stayed open, too. More rain is forecast for this week, so it may be that way for a while. Maybe it will be closed in my next post!
