We also saw, Shelly and I upon a walk, the furry foot and bony foreleg of a beast that I believe belong to a badger. I won't show you the pictures I took (because I wanted another opinion regarding the animal's identity). It had paw pads like those of a dog, but claws more than an inch long and slightly curved. There was some fur left on the foot. I didn't think there were predators for badgers, but am told coyotes can kill them.
I'm going to go look on Google images, see what's what.
And there was a large owl in the trees by the yard, but I couldn't get a good photo.
Snow! How soon I have forgotten what it is like to experience snow this early in the season. You are hearty folk in the country. I love the first few weeks of the snowy season, but only the first few weeks. Lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteI have gotten my old ski pants (which fit, as opposed to my new ones, size Small, that are way too big and too long; what's up with that, Sears?) repaired by the town seamstress and have begun wearing them when I go out in the morning, but by afternoon they are not needed ... there is water laying in the streets.
