I haven’t been posting regular entries in the 100 Steps series, but this morning’s transformed world gave me a good chance for some new photos.
Last night, we had a just-right snow storm. Well, it wasn’t just right for all the people stuck crawling home on major highways at speeds that a horse could top. But this morning, ah, this morning.
We have enough snow to make the world magically different and beautiful. Enough snow to thrill the tiny children and give the big ones a chance to go sledding – and no school to interfere, since it’s Saturday. (The snow’s too dry for snowmen.) Too little snow to make it hard to walk or drive. Too fluffy snow to be hard to clear off walks – I used a broom. Just right.
And just right to leave a record of anything that wandered past since midnight –
- Various creatures left tracks in the snow during the night
- One of the neighborhood cats wandered by
- I think these are rabbit tracks
- Maybe a squirrel, but they don’t usually walk straight across open ground – so probably raccoon tracks. I think.
- Footprints of the white-capped snow broomer
