Preparedness







Lots of preparing for the winter to come. Mark put down new grass & wildflower seed yesterday. These are natural grasses not lawn. 40lbs of grass seed was equal in cost to 3 lbs of wildflower seed. Crazy!


Buying a snow fence next week. This will attach to our existing fence on the windy (west) side. Both our builder & fence guys said we need it. Otherwise the snow will blow huge snowdrifts over our driveway. "Blown in" is another term used around here. It's clearly what we don't want to happen.


We thought the deer had gone, but this morning they were back all around the house. The fawns are definitely getting bigger - hopefully good for the winter survival. Photos courtesy of Paul again. He brought a digital SLR with a very long lens. The compact cameras are great, but they can't beat these kind of closeup pictures...
