I found 6 deer in the backyard when I pulled into the driveway.  As I got closer to the garage, their white tails went up and they 'high-tailed' it to the bush.

I made the rounds; filling all the feeders and the grain dish.  The pileated woodpecker must have been back on the deck.  The peanut bells were laying on the deck in pieces.  I can't imagine any of the other birds having the strength to move them.  

Waiting for the big snow.

There is a winter storm on the way with a heavy snowfall warning.  I'm not cheering yet because the last time there was a warning, there was only about an inch of snow.  Just in case it should happen, my 'measuring dino' is waiting on the deck rail.
