Who knows. My major accomplishment for the day was renewing the deer-off flags around our various ‘deer-candy’ plants during my lunch hour. If I can keep them off the plants, some of them promise a very lovely spring show. And noting that my little white oak bids to be taller than I next year. Also finding a spectacularly messy bird’s nest in one the shrubs, they had found some impressive strips of plastic to weave in from somewhere, along with an assortment of grass, twigs, horse hair, and other things. And watching a lovely Red Tail with really, really sharp markings in a big old Sugar Maple this morning. It is a good world, with good people, we would do well to remember that.
