The day began with an actual sunrise. It's been cloudy, it seems, for ages.
I decided to go for a snowshoe and fetch trailcam SD Cards. I caught myself on the camera!
Who else did I catch on the trailcam? The fisher and the deer, running!
I love the forest. The deer, coyotes, and I follow the paths critters create.
Did I mention how nice it was to see the sun?
The critters feel safe on the frozen frog pond.
We had our hydro metre replaced. It was starting to fail, and took him 10 minutes. It is supposed to connect with a satellite to deliver readings to the company. It doesn't work out here in the country with trees.
I warned him not to fall into the goldfish pond. He asked where the goldfish were, and I said I bring them in for the winter.
I remember showing Aster the frozen pond one winter. She was wee. She wanted me to dig them out!
Look at the snow on them! Hopefully we have had the last delivery of propane for the winter. The dude asked us to clean out a path. (The last dude didn't need that, he told me. He had snowshoes in his truck.)
He said to just use the snowblower. As if. I couldn't get it up the rise and around there. Mind you, Hydro does like to hide these around the side of the house, but it isn't convenient for those who deliver the propane.
I created a path with my snowshoes. They are terrific. I've had them for years. They were a present from my kids. I think ~25 years ago!

Seems they'd change out hydro meters in the summer when it's warmer. You have lots of snow and critters. Never considered needing snow shoes around Kansas winters, but I do have some L.L.Bean knee high lined boots that I got 40 years ago that look new. But I only tromp in deep snow 2-3 times a year. Stay safe! Linda
Seems l ike the tank people would be planning on snow and issues and be suitably equipped. Especially for their clients who are "of an age," -- not that your age is quite there, but who knows with some! Loved seeing the tracks and the deer. When they run they absolutely amaze me!
Snowshoeing is such good exercise and fun too.
I'm impressed that you got out and about in the cold. The blue sky was nice to see yesterday.
So much snow. I've never worn snow shoes because we don't get much snow here. Loved all the pictures.
We may get more snow this weekend.
I love the last photo, pretty scene and view.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
I enjoyed your snowy photographs with the sunshine and shadows.
We've had a very grey, dismal day in my part of the UK.
All the best Jan
...we have snow, but snowshoes aren't necessary!
Beautiful snow photos.
Those trails the animals make become a 'multi' use trail for all of them! I love seeing that in the woods.
I love my snow shoes also, I think I've had them for about the same amount of time too.
They make great trails!
