It’s a beautiful cold morning, no frost yet, but soon. It is past the normal time for our first freeze, so we know it is just a matter of time.

Four deer crossed my path as I drove up the ridge this morning. I could see their breath as they huffed at each other to run into the brush. They are moving now with the rut season and we will have hunters out in the woods along the road soon. Makes me sad to know that they will be hunted in these trees, but we will always have fawns in the Spring too. Just another part of the course of our seasons.
