It's a good day to make a list

Lots of rain, some wind, and the power stayed on *:-)

Our neighborhood contingent of squirrels continues to challenge the fruit that remains on the trees in our yard, and I continue to chase them, so our relationship continues into 2005 *:-)

2004 is the first full year that we have succeeded in keeping the deer out of the yard...that is a big deal, and we are happy about it! We suspect that the deer in our region have used the same pathways for many many generations, and it took 5 long years of gently persuading them to change their pattern, through the use of strategically placed wood fencing 10' high. The deer are astonishing in their ability to jump, and to maneuver. We still see them elsewhere occaisionally, and we wave *:-)
