Critter Welcome

And so it begins.
When we arrived yesterday we were greeted by a shredded window screen and chewed window trim.
I wonder if it was the forest community letting us know that our intrusion has a price. Lol
More settling in today- I loaded the pantry with canned goods and coffee- made me feel more "prepared" for weather.
When I was a child, I used to love those last minute trips to the grocery store when snow was coming. People were scrambling for last minute necessities but it always felt like we were facing the storm together. And Mom always managed to make it an adventure.

This photo is just a few minutes walk from the cabin.
