Lots of little things going on keeping me busy, but nothing of note worthy of a post. Catching up from the past couple of weeks goings on. On the critter front: Chuck and Susu have finally woken up fully and have been scurrying about. They have been spending more time around the Shedroom than before Winter. I put them some seeds out today on the porch. I can get some good close looks at them now, with the hope of actually being able to tell the difference between the two (or maybe more for that matter).

The deer seemed to have moved on. I read that they will move to higher ground as the Spring progresses. I haven’t seen them in almost a week. And the last piles of food I put out have gone uneaten (I guess the birds don’t care for it). The last time I saw them was when we got that last bit of snow. I thought it was because of the snow, but perhaps that was coincidence, and they were on the move, because all the groups I have observed over the Winter were together.

The deer have gotten a bit full of themselves. Over the last couple of weeks they’ve destroyed one bird feeder, and I have had to rearrange the remaining feeders. I had already hung all the feeders because they were emptying them in one night when left on the stumps. Even then, they weren’t up high enough. I caught a couple on the camera rearing up on their hind legs trying to get at the bird feed.

Snow has been spotty, and slow in arriving today. I guess that is not necessarily a bad thing. The morning started off as I would have expected, with the snow coming down at a good and steady rate. I estimate I got a couple of centimeters of snow during that shower. Then things slacked off about mid-morning. It snowed off and on throughout the rest of the day. Enough to accumulate another centimeter or so.

Two deer ladies got caught on the cameras last night. Splitear maybe told them about the easy feeding over here at the cabin to garner some favor? Otherwise a typical day. It was really nice out, and relatively warm. Saw the one loner chipmunk today. Bare ground starting to emerge. Supposed to get close to 10 celsius by the weekend. Maybe I’ll get industrious and get up on the roof and get the solar panels properly mounted.
