Last Snowshoe of the Year, I Hope!

The weather is forecast to improve drastically over the next 4 to 5 days, with temperatures coming back up to the +10C range in the daytime and down to about freezing at night. With the sun high in the sky, the white stuff should disappear in a hurry, I hope.

If you take the shoes off and step off the trail you sink about 3 feet. Without the shoes, it would be very tough going.

It looks like the mouse from  Drunken Mouse either sobered up, or has become more focused. He was certainly having no trouble keeping up on top. 

This has seemed to be a very long winter, with snow coming early and staying late. Plus we have had a lot of it this year. 

Bits and Pieces

Once the moose move in, the willows and shrubs start to suffer. It's not all bad because when the snow is deep, food is a little scarce for bunnies etc. I've noticed over the last few years the rabbits seem to follow the moose. Moose break it down, leaving tender tips available at ground level.

 Brooklyn was feeling lazy and decided to watch me rather than join me on the walk.

 This must have been a fairly inebriated mouse as he certainly did not walk a straight line!

 Even though it's only coming up mid February, the mild temperatures and additional sunlight is causing the melt rings around the tree trunks. Spring...Bring it on!

As you can see, there is not much happening on the Acreage. Tomorrow it's trim Tucker's feet day and clean up the paddock again. Oh yeah, coffee at 09:00 at A&W with the boys. I'm getting tired just thinking about all that activity.

Anybody Want A Mousicle?

After almost two years, this was the result! One pounced on, but not eaten Mousicle.

Yep, I am a Good Dog!

Honest!
