  • Monday, 12/1: More Snow
    • Light snow fell all day, adding up to about two inches.
    • A nice aspect about fresh snow on the ground is all of the wild animal tracks that you see. Based on the tracks, bunnies are very active and we have quite a collection of deer wondering through our lawns. Tracks show that one deer walked right up to the west living room window. Our normal collection of deer ate pears under the Kieffer tree at various times through the day.
    • We took the day off from doing much of anything.
    • We watched two movies, which were Miss Potter (2006) and Little Women (1994).
    • Mary and I realized that this is the first time we've been without a dog since 1993. There are some activities that become automatic with dog ownership for us, such as walking the puppy first thing in the morning and before going to bed. Walking outside at night is something I really miss. Each time an apple is sliced, the urge is to feed a piece of apple core, minus the seeds, to the dog (Plato loved apples).
