[Magdalen] Snowing now

[Charles Wohlers]

That would be highly illegal in Vermont - and I suspect it might be illegal 
in New York also. This is still deer season here (and likely there too), and 
baiting game animals like that is a very big no-no.

Me, I spray my apple trees with stinky stuff (rotten eggs, garlic, etc.) to 
keep the deer away, 'cause otherwise they'd eat the trees. It does work 
reasonably well, as we (thankfully) don't see deer all that much. Deer are 
indeed beautiful animals but they're also a major pest. I'm very surprised 
you can (legally) actually buy stuff for attracting deer.

I laid in a bag of "Deers-love-it" and put a good portion of it out today.
We've had some deer and turkeys and the usual squirrels and cet.

I had put some stuff out before the storm, but it got covered by snow.  The
deer came, knowing something was there, and dug some of it up, but I don't
think they got it all.

My sweetie put out some of our produce with "expired sell-by dates" out and
that has also been popular.
