Lots of animal tracks in the garden
Been a bit lazy this week and watched more TV than normal – well films anyway.
We have also been fascinated with the animal tracks in our garden, which we can see thanks to the snow. Most are the usual suspects – squirrels, raccoons, rabbits etc but it makes life interesting trying to guess what they are before looking them up on the Internet.
Also, this morning we opened the garage door, only to be confronted by a rather large bat flying around. It was much bigger that the ones we used to see in the UK, but didn’t stay around long enough to be identified.
We had to pop into town today to get some tiles for the backsplash in the kitchen and it was very cold. The thermometer in the car said -8C and that was at 11am, so not too early in the day. Apparently it had been -12 overnight – a tad chilly.
We feel we have done well so far with the weather as we have only had two major snowfalls so far, one on Dec 4th and Boxing Day.
