We were going home from church the back way. Two fawns disappeared into the undergrowth on the right side of us. I am sure “mom” was nearby but we did not see her. I had never seen twin fawns before. I was thrilled. It was the highlight of my day. In the wintertime the town does not even plow that road when it snows. It was a little bit off the beaten path. It is not unusual to see deer in the fields there in the early morning or dusk. I never know exactly what animal I will see.

We had a big snowstorm last night. The first thing I noticed was there were no suet left on the tree outside. I immediately put some out and sprinkled sunflower seed on the ground for the birds.
It had snowed over a foot last night. We were in good shape for I went food shopping two days ago. I did park closer to the curb so I had less driveway to shovel.
The man from our town was plowing the edge of the road so the local post man could reach into our mail boxes to make his deliveries. He offered to plow the rest of our driveway.
We had shoveled part of it already. My wife offered him money but he said he did not want any. Both of us were thrilled. It only took him a few minutes to complete the job. He was an angel. There is nothing like being in a small town.
