Fresh tracks

   When we have a fresh snowfall overnight, I look for all the new tracks made by the various critters who live around here while I’m out doing the morning round of  barn chores. 
 
Little bird feet at the chicken coop door…
I found these particularly adorable, so delicate and determined.
 
 
 
 
A mouse scuttles back and forth between the garage and coop
picking up dropped grains from the hens and hopefully not depositing
them under the hood of my Jeep. 
 
These are  my Timberland boots… awesome for my kind of wear.
Waterproof, rugged, long lasting, NO F-ing EYE HOOKS
to trip me up and knock me over.
Deer….

Squirrel….
Heading to the feeder from his favorite big old maple tree…
The manchild  took down the remaining wreaths for me
and left tracks of his own on the side porch.
If you’ve still got wreaths up… get them down, for crying out loud!
I believe that’s why we’re getting more WEATHER.
It’s those leftover wreaths! I’m tellin ya! 
Mouse or chipmunk, not quite sure.
 
..and GATOR tracks… a heart from me to you.
 
 Maybe I shoulda climbed a tree for a better angle.
