Snowy Stretch

We have entered a bit of a snowy stretch. Last week, our forecast was for a "dusting" of snow which ended up being in excess of 8 inches. This week, we were to get a "coating" of snow and by the time it was over we had nearly 4 inches of snow!!! Not that I'm complaining, it has been incredibly dry here to the point that we are in a moderate drought according to the weather service. The snow brings all sorts of animals to my backyard. There are the birds that enjoy the bird seed, there are 3 squirrels that live in the backyard. They are hard working animals and I don't mind them at all, but their friends that only show up to eat food are in for a rude awakening when the 3 "residents" run them off!!! Then, the other night, there were six deer!!! Three were a Mom and her twins. . .the "twins" were much smaller than the rest of the deer. The other 3 change from time to time. One night, there were 3 "teenage boys". . .fairly young deer with tiny antlers. But on their last visit, the boys stayed home and there were 3 young ladies that visited. We live across the street from a wooded state park and the deer come out when their food runs low in the wood. With the last visit, the thing that cracked me up was watching our kitty see deer for the first time. We are in an elevated sunroom while we watch the critters, and I just KNOW she thinks she is way taller than those deer!!! She is so funny and has brought such joy to our lives with this pandemic!!!

With the snow and virus raging, I've stayed home more and have done some scrapbooking so here goes. . . Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using
