Upon arising the temperature was 17 degrees. Refusing to check the windchill, I had a quick breakfast and set out to snowshoe for the first time this season. It was wonderful, quiet. The sun came out making interesting shadows of all the trees. I started to follow what I thought were deer tracks (hard to tell in 18 inches on the level). The tracks went under a very low tree that had fallen over but got caught up in another tree and didn't make it to the ground. So...not deer tracks but fox tracks. I thought about going under. I remember always being one of the last 3 in limbo at parties in school but thought better of it and went around.
We enjoy Foxy so much that I had an artist friend Katie George paint a picture of a fox especially for me. She named it Fox and Frog. Two years ago she allowed me to dig up lupines from her overflowing garden. She put those in as well.
