Spring snow flurries fell for most of the day but when the sky cleared in the late afternoon, the sun came out.  It was deceiving.  It was a lot colder outside than it looked.  The forecast for overnight is -20C.  It's the last day of March and it's still freezing.  It is looking up for the rest of the week; +12C for daytime highs on the weekend.  Hopefully that turns out.

The deer waited until 6pm to show up today.  Their coats are really beginning to change color and antlers are beginning to

grow on some of the young ones.  What a great learning experience it has been watching the fawns change.  They have been coming faithfully since November 21 so I've seen them through the entire winter.  I hope they continue their visits through the summer.  With any luck, I'll see some new babies show up.

Today was the first day that I opened the back door and stepped out onto the deck without scaring them off.  They looked up and glanced in my direction but did not run off.  I actually was able to 'talk' to them today.  Progress.
