Remember when I showed you a picture last Friday of our frozen lake?  Well…it’s not frozen anymore!  After about 3 days of above average temperatures (including an 80 degree mother-nature-teasing-unseasonably-warm-day on Monday), our little lake has unthawed and allowed our various flying friends to take a leisurely stroll on the water.  What a difference a few days makes!

When we went for a walk Monday night, Kailan wanted to “See the big deer.  I pet the big deer.”  Sorry kiddo, no deer were seen that night, and I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t have been any petting.  But, you never know…they are pretty tame deer. 😉
