Snow is covering up everything except the long grass.

The forest trails have been plowed, so walking is easier again.

The forest has lots of these guys – not sure if they are downy or hairy woodpeckers. I think that they might like all the dead trees from the years where there was too much standing water in the forest.

They do enjoy the winter crabapples.

Winter snow is here and so are the neighbourhood deer.

It has been a bit of a strange Fall, weatherwise.

The morning sun was really lighting up the fall colours on our sour cherry tree.

The hibiscus is providing some indoor colour to compete with the show that’s going on outside.

Lots of milkweed seed pods cracking open these days. Good news for the butterflies.
