The warmer temperatures have created some interesting conditions, and it is a direct consequence of our lack of a snow blower during parts of the winter.
Snow traps. That trap tires. :-D
I got stuck a couple of times yesterday, in our own driveway. Here is why.

Mind you, this is another one where he is probably a she. ;-)
Aside from critter pictures, I haven’t been posting much about how things are going. Mostly because, it’s all pretty mundane right now. It’s been so awesome to have the warmer temperatures, and I’m so looking forward to being able to continue working on the yard!
The outside cats are appreciating the warmer temperatures, too.
Bob was just rolling all over the step, after greeting me as I finished up my rounds. :-D

Probably wondering what one of our silly cats is doing. :-D
There was a nice little surprise out our living room window this morning. We had a group of 5 deer out there – and one distinctive lady is a return visitor from last winter!
It’s entirely possible other deer that have been visiting us are returns from last winter, but few are distinctive enough to recognize, a year later. This one, with its piebald markings, is one of those few. She was part of a group of 3 deer. The other deer in the photo is part of a group of 2 that are regular visitors.
I hoped the piebald would come back! :-)
Still on the lookout for a deer missing its tail. :-D
Another deer photo from our bitterly cold February.
This was taken on a day when it was warm enough to snow, covering the feed I had put out in the morning. A bit of snow isn’t about to stop a hungry deer!
This next batch of critter photos are still from February. We had quite a few deer visits, including some new ones.
This was taken on a day when we had 7 deer show up at once. There seemed to be two groups of three, and one loner. A couple were quite aggressive about chasing the others away from the feed. As you can see by this tough guy (actually… it’s probably a gal), and the patch of skin dangling from its chin!
While tending the fire for the cookout, we were visited by many cats. They didn’t want to come close to the fire pit, but they did circle around us. Several went to and from the collapsing log building nearby.
Including this beautiful lady!
Beep Beep was unimpressed that I was taking pictures, instead of letting her climb on me. :-D
We had our cookout yesterday, but of course, things didn’t work out as planned!
Continue readingThis is a cat that has seen some rough times!
He is getting used to us, though. One of these days, we might even be able to pet him.
Maybe.
