It’s hard for the FLOWER to stay inside.

I do not like the cold, but I will be forcing myself outside.

Today, I did the usual yard and woods tour with my camera.

I did find deer tracks,

and two beautiful mushrooms,

and many red berries on my Foster Holly,

and the perfect spot to eat acorns (apparently).

I also discovered some things missing

in the green patch.

This did not upset me. I am happy to help my neighbors.

The eaten off stems made me smile.

Somewhere in the woods, the owner of these tiny hooves has a full belly.
