Critter tails

How good it was to see the sun, however briefly. There is another storm on the way. Happily, it looks like just snow and no rain. I can deal with the snow. We make sure we have food, gas for the snowblower, and I can take my time to shovel. We had 4 cm Thursday, not even worth shoveling!

I cannot complain, though. The high temperatures for some parts of Canada are -30˚ C. today! Sorry, Red!



Cinnamon enjoys a moment on his cat tower, and my first paperwhite bloom. The ceramic rabbit sits atop my gifts from Jean! She is a peach. 




I went for a walk to fetch trailcam cards. I met the deer trio, Momma and twins. It was funny, as they lined up, all looking in one direction, then looking at me.

I think the frog pond trail cam froze after the snow and rain. Nothing on it, yet two pieces of Fisher poopies in front of the trailcam. 

A big coyote track, as well.


There was a lone turkey about, in the snow.

I often wonder about the critters in the snow. We've another big storm on the way, potentially 20 cm. Again.

Momma grooms her fawn

Hubby went down for his late afternoon nap Thursday. It had been a long day!
 I didn't want to wake him up, here is your video, toots!

Bird watching at dusk, I spotted a doe with twins in the front yard. Momma decided some grooming was in order!

Wednesday, there was a doe and one fawn in the backyard.

For the past couple of mornings, a doe & fawn have visited the back yard. I threw them an apple, which momma readily ate. It's rutting season, as well as hunting season, and all hell is breaking loose for them. They see our backyard as sanctuary, as we do! The wolf chased a deer into the yard last year. I saw him huffing and puffing in the back.
