When the snow stopped falling this morning, the sun came out.  There was about four inches of snow on the driveway.  I'm really hoping that a bit more will fall and that the temperature will hold so I can get my skis dusted off on Friday.

The birds and the deer appeared to love the sun's rays.  All the feathered friends came flying down from the treetops and a couple fawns came in to eat.  Both were very skittish, watching the forest as if someone or something was after them.

The woodpeckers and the blue jays have demolished the peanut bells that I had on the deck.  I'm going to find a recipe of my own because I think they will be going through a lot of them over the winter.
