Finally got a rabbit on the game cam! |
Also caught Larry & Elsie coming up last Monday. |
We slept in on Sunday. Big breakfast. Finished reading magazines. Read more on our books. Enjoyed more angel food cake. Little cells of snow blew through with sun breaks in between.
Haven't decided if we will refer to this winter as the winter of "Ice and Wind" or "Melts and Freezes." The Friday night snow is all gone from the canyons and valley, but certainly not Up Here. After all, the first day of Spring isn't until Tuesday and we are due for more snow tonight.
I was asked about the mole that Dinga caught and why it would come up out of the snow. Actually it didn't. The dogs can hear the little critters moving around under the dirt, and in the winter, under the snow. Dinga looks like those videos you see of Arctic foxes that jump straight up and pounce down into the snow to catch their prey. And that's just what she did with the mole. It had probably just come up from underground and was tunneling under the snow.
JB started working on our taxes yesterday. Always a fun project. At least now that we are retired it is much easier.
Thought for the day: The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were to limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse. Helen Keller
