Happy Winter Solstice!

Winter Began at 12:11 PM EST Today!

Happy Winter Everyone! I made this snowman today! We had the perfect snow for snowman making. I haven’t made a snowman in years. I decided to make one near the apple tree in my parents’ back yard. I have a trail camera on the trunk of the apple tree, and deer have been visiting their yard regularly (day and night)! The deer love eating the apples. I once saw a photo of a deer eating the carrot nose of a snowman – so I decided to try and recreate the same event. I built the snowman and turned the trail camera toward it.

Today may be the beginning of winter – but the weather was down right “balmy!” It was in the 40s! It is currently raining. I am hoping my snowman makes it at least through the night or until a deer comes and visits. (I saw two eagles this afternoon as well – unfortunately it was such a dark gray day – the photo were not very good!). Below are trail camera shots of the deer that have been visiting (I picked a few shots from last night/this morning.) I also have added a couple other shots that I took today!

Happy Holidays to All!
