Mark is back at Star Mt. for a whole two weeks - hurray! We hope to make the most of it. Already been to one of our favorite Asian places - Ryce in CB. Yummy as usual.
Sunshine and clear blue skies ahead for the next week. We have company coming next Sat (Paul, Sherry, James, & Katie) for a week of skiing and snowboarding. We'll miss you Krissy! Should be great timing with recent snows bulking up the mountain and nice spring like temps. (Here that means 40's).
Mark made use of the snowblower to get the rest of the snow off the deck. Massive wind slowed his progress yesterday a bit. Walter had to come back today to redo the driveway with his heavy machinery. The wind had blown snow in almost closing in the gate.
Snowshoeing next. Gotta get that aerobic stuff in. Saw no animal tracks but did hear a strange whooshing sound a few times - my explanation was an airhole under the snow collapsed after we crunched down the snow. Sounds like I know something - maybe. Deep snow in our woods - my trail of a few days ago mostly all gone, so huff and puff to trail blaze again...
Mark watched a fox hunting around our house early this morning. Our animal sightings are few and far between at this time of year. We did see a fairly unusual sight down Ohio Creek today - that little black ball is a skunk. Looked pretty (at a distance). Time is moving fast - the cows have started birthing calves and goats their kids. This whole month is one big baby fest...
I like you air hole theory. Quite scientific in a Gretchenish sorta way :) About that skunk. So pretty against the snow. I thought skunks were nocturnal and likely sick if wandering during daylight. But, I learned that was a myth and so much more when I looked it up. http://www.wildskunkrescue.com/skunkbehaviors.htm
ReplyDeleteOh, and you look like a spring flower blooming out of the snow.
