Take my hand and I will follow

It is so quiet here in the winter. I have reminded Brodie a few times that the "animals" lived here first... Jay and I listened to something snorting in the dark this summer while we were hanging out on the deck.... which turned out to be deer. Frogs stick to the windows in the summer because bugs are attracted to the light coming from inside. Jay walked out onto the deck and a frog ended up inside another night. A bear took trash off the front steps and raccoons drag trash out of the truck....
I love seeing the deer standing in our driveway, the cows and the 1 horse that live at the end of the street.
What I didn't enjoy was waking in the middle of the night to the sounds of children at the beach........ I thought I was dreaming of children at the beach but then Meadow woke us.... Jay was talking about coyotes.... could I see them? I couldn't see anything, I didn't even want to think about it never mind see them....but why do I hear children Jay? That's what they sound like... I checked it out today on YouTube how creepy.

Today the boys and I were walking around and we found all sorts of tracks in the snow. Let us know if you can identify any of them.

This is one of the deer paths we follow, they always walk in
line through deep snow.

These ones are weird they are spaced apart larger than an adult foot step

Looks like many came from different directions

We are reminded often these days about the impact of our carbon footprint, today I encourage you to look at the path you are traveling, will you leave a mark? Will others follow in your footsteps? When is the last time you stopped and looked around? I believe it's never too late to change direction.
