Sheltering in Place at Home

After playing a few pieces of Lorie Line and Enya on the piano, I strolled to the window and what did I see? Two white reindeer where they otherwise wouldn't be.

Allan had brought them up from our front yard, to take them apart and put them in storage until next winter since reindeer prefer the sleigh season. Later I noted movement outside another window.

Sure enough, white-tailed deer cousins were chewing on our grass, as if all of Carver Park Reserve isn't enough forage for them.

When I looked out the window on Easter Sunday morning -- it was April 12th this year -- a few inches of snow covered our lawn furniture and everything else.

It didn't otherwise affect us much. We didn't have to shovel or wait for the snowplow or slip on the ice.

We hunkered downstairs for Sunday Mass on our big screen and then came upstairs for eggs and bacon.

I wonder when we'll get breakfast again at the Chanhassen Legion or the 4 & 5. Can't believe Perkins closed last year.
