On this April Fools Day, Mother Nature pranked us with an inch of new snow and 24°F. Ha ha. Very funny. The snow was gone by afternoon everywhere except in deep shade, such as the north side of the house.

I am ready for spring, but it appears that it will be chilly
for at least another week. I hope to get out to the high tunnel to plant
lettuce one of these days.
I saw one of our does with her two fawns Wednesday morning. The larger fawn lagged behind the other two; I did not get a picture.

I was glad to see that the smaller one was still around. The last time I saw it, it was limping and had scratches on its back as if it had been jumped by a coyote. There are still some dark patches on its shoulder. The deer were out just at sunrise, and the light wasn’t great, but as far as I could see, the wounds were healing. It wasn’t limping any more. Both fawns have made it through the winter, and so have we.
