We had more snow Wednesday and possibly a bit more tomorrow. The good news is that we will be in the mid-thirties to forty temperature range the next 4 or 5 days. There is a very good chance we will see some melting. In the meantime, I do what I can to trick myself into thinking spring.
Bought these yesterday in the grocery store
Replaced the burgundy sherpa throw and blue pillow with yellow pillows with white butterflies
I have a nice little display of shells from Amelia Island (and some from last year at Hilton Head) to remind me of warmer days.
Look who followed us home from Amelia Island.
The government also tricks us into thinking spring has arrived by forcing us to go onto daylight savings time this weekend.
Winter has its perks though. It causes the deer to forage in our yards. This morning when I opened the blinds at 7:30 there were 3 deer beneath the pine trees, two sitting up, one sleeping on its side. Junior (what I call the smallest one) was here yesterday scavenging among the sunflower seed husks. He/she came right up to the glass sliding door. Not good nor safe to get that used to people. When we returned from breakfast out at a restaurant and a stop at Walmart and the bank, they had moved toward the middle of the divider plantings, except for Junior who came back to the patio. Around 10:30 a.m. they headed out single-file, and by the time I got to the west windows they were no longer in sight.
Maybe winter will disappear as quickly as the deer. We can hope.
