Bombarded

 We in Northern WI, have been bombarded with weird weather, even tho it's already November.   A few snow showers, we expect, but for it to ' hang around,' quite frankly, not ready, are you?

 On our way to the cabin, we had to literally get out of the truck and brush our way in.  Brush frozen branches free of snow so we could pass without the branches scratching the truck.

 The snow was wanting to cling, and cling hard to the trees.
Under the snow was ice from the day before when the snow was barely beginning to melt.

 The sun was shining through the iced branches making for a spectacular sight., but, isn't this prose for late January?

 This was 3 days already, and I found myself wanting to say, 

"  come on, Joke's over~"

 Already at the cabin anyway, we decided to stay a spell, start a fire in the potbellied stove and watch the deer awhile.  One of this spring's fawns and her mama came in to nibble on the pumpkins, apples and corn that we left for them.  All of that dry corn and they may want a drink.

 Iced water, dear, deer???

 The sunshine on the treetops took my breath away.  This photo doesn't begin to do it justice.

 Most of this early snow is gone finally, after a week.

I suppose with Thanksgiving coming just around the corner,

I'm sure there is thanks to give by a big bird, 

Mr. Turkey, that is.

His tracks are no longer visible as he probably is 

showing sighs of relief.   Next time, big boy, next time.

I'll catch up to you, next time.

Until then,
