I always like to send a photo of some sort, of our wildlife, in our Christmas card each year. This photo was included in the card last year.  

It was taken after a snowstorm where we got a total of 30" of snow in a 24 hr. period.  Hubby took the yardstick outside at 10am to measure the snowfall & it was up to 17" at that time.

Everything in town was closed & the exit, off the highway, to our town said our town was CLOSED.  We live out in the county so naturally our roads were impassable but even the city streets were snowed over.  The plows couldn't get out until the snowing stopped & ambulances, firetrucks, & police were helpless to try and come to folks' aid.  Here in northernmost Indiana we're used to snow but this was a bit extreme. 

 

It didn't take too long though & within 24 hours after the snow stopped, we were up & moving again.  Hubby & I had shoveled areas in the immediate backyard for the wildlife to eat the seed I scattered around & that's when the deer picture was taken.

This photo was included in the card the year before.  There were 16 baby raccoons in this photo.  We had a bumper crop the summer of 2023.  *ha-ha*

Hurray for summertime!
