This morning was our first “real” snow. After enjoying the beauty of the snow built up on the trees and buildings in town – the stillness and magic of the snow continuing to come down, and turning the air to a dancing, freezing wonder – we went out to the farmstead to check a (humane) skunk trap.
We had only smelled the critter so far, but weren’t waiting for a face-to-face meeting, as a high percentage of skunks in this area carry rabies.
We left the kids with a friend and took the Jeep work truck out. The snow in town was 8″ to a foot deep, but out at the homestead, it was in places 2′ on the level.
K-10 had a blast!
He made trails hither, thither and yon, rushing up at intervals to say hello and see whether we were enjoying the landscape.
We were.
