Oh yeah, it’s cold. And it looks to be cold right on through to the end of the month. The Arctic air refuses to stay up where it belongs.
The cold and snow are making it tough on the wildlife. Not only have I seen 5 deer feeding out in the stuff I toss over the fence, last night I watched one find its way over to my side of the fence and I sat there in my upstairs bedroom watching it foraging around up close among the feed I toss out for the birds and squirrels. Sure seems bigger when it’s that close, less than 20 feet away from where I was watching it. Now, of course, that means I have to throw even more out for the critters. They must be getting very hungry by now. And yes, I do know I’m not responsible for all the wildlife out there. But if I can do anything to help them survive this harsh part of winter, I’m all in.
