Yesterday we got snow. Enough snow that it covered the ground, trees and bushes. On the walk home from work I decided to take the trail through the woods. I haven't seen a hare anywhere for weeks. But there in the snow were tracks of a hare. Then more tracks and more tracks. They were everywhere. With each new set of tracks I tried to see if I could find one as they will be turning white for the winter and I would love to see them in the new coats. But I could not find one but someone did or should I say something. Next to a set of hare tracks were a set of lynx tracks. Both tracks looked as if both creatures were running. They lead into a thick area of alder which I decided not to go into. That would be a place you just might walk into a sleeping bear. One of the neighbors had one in her front yard a couple of days ago. So some of them are still around.
The snow made the area shine and sparkle. But like all good things it came to an end. The temperature warmed up and the rain fell, melting away all the beautiful snow. It was sad. But today I am getting ready for my first trip into town. I am making my shopping list and trying to decide what to take with me to carry food home in. I am totally excited.
