But first, we've a fawn with a broken front right leg. Crumbly Acres, indeed. With 28 cm of snow falling, over two days – Dec. 16/17, it is difficult walking. I think this is Clover's fawn.
Out in Vancouver, the kids took Cluny to a cross country ski race! They are in great shape there. They are a busy bunch and keen skiers. It was -12 C., and B.C. has had a ton of snow. Cluny texted me on Kids Messenger, to let me know where they were: "I'm at the sandman hotel in Squamish, and its been snowing here! 
" They have great skiing near them, of course. They belong to a club, with great opportunities for families.

The snow storm has really taken out our great white pine trees. Here they were, February, 2016, for example. We lost a lot of branches that year.
They took the brunt of the heavy burden of snow. The ends of the branches are frozen into the snow, and I have to cut them up before I can move them.
This is what the bucks did in the snow, ate pumpkins!

We've a new storm on the way Thursday. We'll see what happens.

...life can be difficult for wildlife.
What fun a family of skiers! Sorrry to see the fawn with broken leg. Cinnamon and the train remind me of my tortie who loved to see it go by. Keep warm. Happy Solstice too!
That heavy snow can be damaging and things don't look good for that poor young deer. I hope Cinnamon is counting blessings of safety and warmth along with those train cars.
Poor little fawn :(
Some kinds of trees do suffer more under winter snow :(
Happy Winter Solstice!
The forecast looks dire, best to be prepared and stay indoors. Pity about the broken leg, maybe hit by a car? And eating in the snow, they are so hardy animals.
I am sorry to read about the fawn. Very sorry.
Hello,
No snow here yet! We are expecting a very bitter cold Christmas weekend.
Love the deer! The little skier is cute. Have a wonderful holiday week, Merry Christmas!
On a snow day, one can write many blogs. 😎
Heavy wet snow can really do a number on trees. We don't get those conditions very often but they do happen.
This reminds me of when I lived in Colorado. Snow is so beautiful, but really difficult to work in. Here in Tennessee it is so funny how two or more inches of snow brings everything to a standstill. Love the video of Cinnamon getting used to the train set. The video in a previous post where you are checking out the snow damage gave me the shivers. I see you have another snow storm coming in, I think, tonight. I suppose you are used to that kind of weather, but I wish you all the best in getting through it okay. Wishing you a Merry, Merry Christmas and a New Year full of all that makes you happy.
Cinnamon can't quite figure out yet why an object he knows to be inanimate can move on its own.
