But I digress! I have this whole sequence of snow blowing so I only have to move it once instead of twice. I often wonder why I clear off the sidewalk that runs up the side of our house that no one walks on except me. Today I found out why... it is for me... and for the neighborhood deer. There are only my tracks and the deer. (my track is in the upper left corner)
As I was out for my walk today I noticed a fat little quail walking on the snow but it wasn't until my return trip that I saw he'd left behind little quail-snow-angels. I love how you can see his walking tracks, then he started to use his wings, more, more and finally... take-off with one last little faint wing print and little foot print. How beautiful!!
Finally on my way back into the house, there on the deck steps, one last little set of birdie tracks... what a fun explore in the arctic air.

I have to admit the first day with real snow that sticks usually freaks me out....but this year I just marvelled at the soft fluffiness blanketing everything that morning. It was just stunning! Apparently the little animals like it too!
Wayne asked if you had your little quail prints posted. Isn't the way life happens interesting?
Love ya, kiddo.
