SNOW! And Deer!

Dear Flat Stanley,

You will never believe it! I know you just left yesterday and there wasn't much snow while you were here, but yesterday, I woke up and the ground was covered! It snowed just in time for my younger cousin Hector's visit (that's him in the picture with me).  There wasn't a lot of snow, compared to what we normally get in PA, but any snow is better than no snow!

And I finally caught a picture of deer stealing birdseed from the bird feeder! Some people say that the Pennsylvanian state bird shouldn't be the Ruffed Grouse, but should be the White-Tailed Deer instead, since there are so many of them. They must think they are the state bird, too! At least it wasn't a Black Bear at the feeder, that has happened, too! The bears usually rip the feeder down when they visit, though.

Hope you make it back to Elk Grove soon! I know how much you missed Austin and Mrs. Tozi while you were here.  I am sure they will be glad to see you, too.

I miss you already!
Come visit again soon!

Your Friend,
Octavia
