Day 19: Pesky critters

I spent most of the day writing and transcribing interviews, but we were able to escape for a long walk despite the frigid temperature.  Paddy decided he needed some fresh air too so I let him out.  Every ten minutes I called for him, but he would not come.  Finally, I went out and followed his footsteps around the house and there he was, under the back deck.  But he wasn't alone.  The neighbor's black cat was with him.  I guess they were having a few beers.

Three deer visited too.  The photogenic one gets up on his hind legs and tips the bird feeder to lick the seed.
