Sitting in the breakfast nook, reading emails, devotions, having my tea..... I look out the window and a deer bounds past the window and across the street.  No sooner does he make it across, then out bounds another one, leaping through the snow and across the street.  It was 7 a.m. and those poor things were still looking for food.  Everything is covered with snow and the deer are eating everything in sight.   The other night I was awakened by a crunching sound, over and over.  I finally got up looked out the window; there were deer eating the yew, others standing on their hind legs eating the bark.  The snow was frozen and they were having a difficult time walking, crunching through the crusted, iced over snow.  This has been a tough winter.  It snowed all day today, but since it was warm, the snow melted before it hit the ground, up until this evening when the temperature dropped. 
I can't believe today.  I have never been more conflicted or confused in my life.
