CYA Later Deer
Rumor has it that Spring is making an appearance on Long Island this week-end and temps are supposed to be 50+ F for days on end. The temptation is too much for me to resist so I’m headed south to soak up some ‘heat’. Soon as I post this I’m out the door.
With the ground here still frozen the grass on the other side of the fence (Adirondack Mountains) is definitely greener. I’ll take me about 3 hours to drive through the mountains and I expect a noticeable change in the climate as I approach Albany. By the time I hit NYC I’ll be at least 3 hardiness happiness zones higher.
It’s too bad some residents are stuck here. Not that I feel sorry for them, I just want to get rid of these pests. These photos were taken on the last day of February. Since then the snow has pretty much melted.
I saw these deer in a neighbor’s driveway as I drove by.
Tryouts for a chorus line. They’re out of step but young and learning. Too bad they learn I put out a nice salad bar in the garden.
Who knows when I’ll return? I’ll be gone at least a week. With a days drive on both ends of the trip I hate to stay less than a week. I’ll be back by the 19th at the latest.

I won’t miss you but the deer do. They stare at you helplessly, they wave their “hands” that you have interpreted wrongly.

The deer are hoping you left the door unlocked so they can get inside where its warm. They love to sleep on beds and lounge around near a warm fire. I raised a deer once and I know first hand how much they love being inside(-:

I always like when I see photos of deer staring right at the camera like that. They look like they’ve been caught doing something wrong.

The deer seemed to have weathered the winter in fine shape. Not all thin and weak like we had here last year.
Hope you have a safe trip and enjoy the warmth. A snowstorm is on tap for us tomorrow – another 8 inches at least. Oh spring – wherefore art thou?

This weather has been heavenly and you’ll find it even more “tropical” on LI. Enjoy your respite!
