Piebald deer and friend
Piebald deer and friend

Less than 1% of the white-tailed deer population has a genetic mutation that causes varying amounts of white hair in its coat. They’re called piebald deer and this one has settled down in our neighborhood. We brought what will probably be our last load of greens back from the garden. We did two plantings of Mache lettuce. The hardy plants grows close to the ground and I found it really tedious to pick until I realized I could just uproot the whole plant and break the tiny roots off at home before rinsing it. It is delicious and miraculously it seems to be multiplying just as the ground freezes for winter.
