I did not know anything about it until now, from your blog...how I adore blog land !! The poem Reindeer Presence also struck a cord, as I often glimpse deer in our woods in winter...it is a gift of Nature to me, and I am always left in awe of these beautiful creatures...thank you so much for this lovely post, especially at this special time of year, N.xoNella Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881520442347177012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999049516813772095.post-73903169683899857062012-12-13T09:40:36.096+00:002012-12-13T09:40:36.096+00:00Dear Minerva,
