Ah yes, eau de spring.  The skunks are out and I do believe one of the neighbor's dogs has found that out the hard way.  I went out to the deck to get a good look at the full moon and got a BIG whiff of Pepe le Pew.  It's not too pleasant on my deck right now.

The moon is gorgeous.  The backyard is light up like daylight.  Slivers of cloud float past and as they do, their colors change from white to pink to orange.  The tree branches look as if twinkle lights adorn their tips.  Beautiful.

The drive home from work was beautiful as well.  Even though there was more cloud than there is now, the open fields were lit up enough for me to see the silhouettes of deer grazing.  A couple of them crossed the road in front of me, possibly thinking that the grass may be greener on the other side of the fence.  Little did they know that the snow was deeper.

As I was leaving for work this morning, the cat from next door parked himself on my deck railing.  That is also a sure sign of spring.  He's locked up in the house all winter long but when spring rolls around, he gets to go outside.  From now to next winter, he'll spend 80% of his time in my yard, away from the large dog that lives in the same household.  Why should he alter his plan?  He's been doing the same thing for the past 10 years.
