Written a week ago (and abandoned) ...
A week after the storm has passed, it is looking a lot like Christmas around here. Christmas - with longer daylight hours, a warmer sun and spring not too far away.
We were fortunate my son dug us out with his skid steer. He made short work of what would have been more hours and muscle power than I can imagine. It was much of an issue as to where to put the snow, but the man-hours required to take on the job would have been monumental.
The resulting snow pile in the front yard brought back warm memories of my daycaring days, when one of my dads (whose winter work included snow clearing and removal) dumped a load of snow for the kid's entertainment. Making the most out of winter includes snow forts, snow hills, snow-people, frolicking in snow piles and simply enjoying the gifts of nature.
Rabbit tracks in the snow bring a smile to my heart every time ...
Two weeks later ...
I abandoned this post in lieu of living life quietly and letting Mother Nature deal with the excess snow.
I smiled when I spotted rabbit tracks on the mountain of snow in our front yard and was absolutely delighted when this happened:
Did you spot it? The rabbit hiding in plain sight??
Ahh ... the joys of rabbit-spotting. There is really nothing quite like it.
This winter station break was so much more enjoyable knowing it will all soon be gone.
But I'm glad for the moments it brought to us, right in our own front yard.
