What A Difference A Day, And A Season, Makes

I haven't measured yet but I think we got about 18" of snow last night. We have 3' of snow at the end of the driveway where the road plows went by.

The top photo is a fawn that's part of a momma, poppa, and baby deer setup in our backyard. I completely reworked the entire area over this past summer. After a dump truck full of top soil, some decorative blocks as a mini retaining wall, an iron trellis, and a lot of planting, you can see some of the fruits of my labors in the bottom photo. The trunk in both photos is the same pine tree.

This year the area will be loaded with daffodils in the spring. All of the perennials should really have taken hold and this area of the yard will burst with vegetation and color in the summer. The cat in front of the momma deer is Poo Poo and she is actually hunting/playing here — there is a mouse running around under the dusty miller.

I just hope the cat wasn't still sitting in front of that deer!

That cat is a character....in the summer, you can't keep her in the house. In the winter, you can't get her out!
