And the fox dance & the snow flies








Our little late season snow did show up last night. Caught a couple of photos early - the dusting melted away within an hour. The elk didn't seem bothered - were out in force this morning. Another excuse to have a roaring fire going!
Forget everything I said in the last post about the fox parents.Not parents at all. Not one, but two appeared back in the yard to play and sniff (and pee on) our new baby trees. We think they were two young males (the peeing clue) and they played all over the yard for 15 minutes. It was an amazing show - we just never know what's going to show up here...
This is a major week - we had both FedX and UPS actually come through the gates and deliver at the house!! I realize this doesn't seem like a big deal to you city people, here yes and yes. No more things flung in the dirt outside the gates. Hurray.
And the last piece of news - two days in a row we've managed to get through our steep 3 1/2 mile walk through the woods without stopping once to catch our breath. That is remarkable considering last summer it took a month to get to that point. I guess we didn't lose all the conditioning in, flat as a pancake, sea level Florida. A big hurray.
