Early in the week the snow had finally stopped piling up. Winter Wonderland ---- if you like that kind of thing. Drifts, loads, and icicles up the hill and down. Getting up the hill much harder than down?
But there were some mild days that brought out locals like male/female cardinals. Also some just passing through, like this we-think-it's-a-merlin.
Signs in the snow? Haven't seen deer in months but their footprints are all over the place. Shy?? And what a coincidence----On U.S. Thanksgiving, a flock of turkeys appeared for the first time all year. Relieved??
Rain and warm temps have melted or collapsed most of the snow. So tomorrow we'll go down the hill a little easier but still with backpacks. We'll be away for a few months. It's a good time to get some much-needed R&R and get back to travel basics.
This blog will also be taking a break: no new posts until some time next year. "Even when you can't see the sun, you know it's still there..."
