Quiet Day

It has been a long time since the sound of rain has hit the skylight in the kitchen.  It didn’t take long we heard more than the pitter patter.  Randy and his long green line was in our driveway.  Snowblower on one end of his tractor and a bucket on the other.  Today, Randy stopped to tell Dennis it was playing in the rain.  With the bucket, Randy scrapped off a lot of the packed snow that now showed more slush than snow.  Randy has only gravel on his driveways with no chance of seeing the snow scrapped down to a hard service as he could with our concrete.

Deer+catLast night Dennis did a stakeout in the patio porch.  The exterior light was on showing the east patio.  Dennis and the cats sat in the dark in the patio porch.  Dennis was determined to get a photo or two of the deer as they came to the patio for corn.  I think he aced it.  As you can see in the photo, Snuggles was sitting right there taking it all in.  This late afternoon, we had some sleet, some rain and wet snow.  Dennis decided to put out the corn dish, thinking that even if the corn got a bit wet, it would still be eaten.  Sure enough.  Dennis just said he has counted six thus far.  Life is good on Stauffer Avenue for all two legged and four legged creatures.
