The bucks have begun to shed their antlers and the next generation of deer has started, for a few more days yet, until the solstice, the days will grow shorter and the nights longer. It will be awhile before the lengthening days become obvious. It seems everyday brings more snow and cold, these long nights were just made for long slumbers, long reads, or long contemplations in front of the fire.
