We had a dusting of snow just after midnight early Tuesday morning. Somehow the Enormous Dog knew and got me up to let him out to romp.
Four days of freezing weather took out the wild asters (Genus Symphyotrichum) that had bloomed in the woods almost until Christmas. Pokeweed, phytolacca americana, still thrives.
Just before the storm hit, the Wise Woman decreed that two bird feeders would be erected and provisioned. Carolina wrens, chickadees, tufted titmice and a couple of cardinals have found the buffet.
Four deer — all female — were in the woods behind the house this morning. I watched one doze within 35 feet of the back door as the snow melted. No sign of the three-legged buck.
