Early yesterday morning, as I dreamed of following deer over the knoll, moose visited the yard again. A cow and calf came through the dooryard, revisiting the birch saplings other moose had eaten earlier and wiping out the small cherry tree by the rhubarb patch. They took a nibble of one of our two large cherry trees, then spent some time in the garden, where they pooped a good deal (at least it’s compost!). Michelle may have scared them off when she went out for her morning necessary visit.
