Winter visitors...

Wednesday, in the midst of a bone chilling snow, sleet, freezing rain 'event', several deer ventured down the ravine next to our house. It was fascinating to watch them from my bedroom window as they scampered through the trees. (I do like me my creature comforts and firmly believe that when the temperature is 18 degress, and there's a stiff wind, it's best to marvel at the beauty of nature from indoors...)

Here's Mr. Buck striking a classic pose.

He was quite handsome and not in the least bit shy when he spotted me taking pictures. Good thing he came close enough to the house for me to take a few shots from inside, because there was no way that I was going to take my good camera outdoors in that miserable weather. Also a good thing that he didn't come in to my yard to snack on the shrubs. Sure he's good lookin', but if he destroys my garden, he stands a chance of becoming a good looking piece of venison...

An Epiphany...

Just a little Christmas spirit to (Yule) tide us over

Haven't had much time to post because of a gazillion projects, including one BIG one, so just a little Christmas, right this very minute...

Yikes!!! What happened???

Two weeks ago, this was the view from my bedroom window. It was an autumn filled with glorious color.

Yesterday morning, this was the view from my bedroom window...

We only had a couple of inches here, but there were power outages because it was a heavy wet snow mixed with sleet and it coated the leaves that were still clinging to the trees, causing them to topple and bring down power lines. Just a short distance away, in the Pocono Mountains, one area recorded 20 inches of the white stuff!!! Last winter was pretty mild. Makes you wonder about this winter!
