Photos: Deer Makes Itself Right At Home For Thanksgiving In Area Police had to take care of a breaking and entering case on Thanksgiving Day in Fairfield County, but it was quickly solved. A deer jumped through a large picture window of an Easton home on the morning of Thursday, Nov. 28. Once inside, the deer couldn't seem to find its way back out and wandered around the home since no one was on hand to offer some help.  After wandering around inside the house for about a half-hour, the deer was able to be shooed back outside by officers. Luckily, the deer didn't do much damage and was not injured.

When The Bough Breaks, Consider Calling a Professional When The Bough Breaks, Consider Calling a Professional
When The Bough Breaks, Consider Calling a Professional March is living up to its reputation of coming in like a lion.  The recent trio of storms in Westchester and Fairfield has left more debris in yards then homeowners know what to do with.

As expected, the storm had the biggest impact farthest east. Since this storm pales in comparison to last week's, we have not received nearly as many reports. So if you don't see your town, please add the total by leaving a comment here. Here a…
