Snow & A Big Furry Visitor


Did I tell you how much I like winter nights at my house? I mean summer nights are fine and all, but not nearly so bright as winter. And on that note, we have had a lot more snow arrive recently!


After that last snowstorm wrapped up and rolled on out, we awoke to a stunning sunny (still cold) bluebird day! And a big visitor came strolling through the woods. 


Moose do come by quite regularly, though with the very low snow for much of the year, I've seen less of them here than normal recently. They have been able to travel wherever they want without feeling a need to stick to plowed and shoveled pathways as they tend to do if the snow is really deep. 

Since this video though, another different moose came through as well. I either saw another moose twice or two different moose, and then the same mother and baby came back one evening when I was at a friends. When I came home, I found their fresh tracks right up to the porch! Like most creatures, they like to come by when I'm sleeping, not looking, or not home. :)

One of the chatty little squirrels perched right outside my window. 


Grizzly does love bounding through the deep powdery snow. At least I assume she does from the look on her face and the wagging tail!


And lastly, a few more beautiful snowy bighorn sheep.

  2. Ariel, it has been soooo long since you last posted. I hope this means that you are in the throws of moving your home to a new location and not that you are not well. Hope we will see a little blogging in the near future as the spring season slowly draws closer to the summer solstice. All the best! Peggy in Canada

  6. I see the baby moose ears to the left of the path where mama is sleeping, behind those tree branches. So sweet.

  7. I dont know how.. I was looking at a real estate video of a home in Marco Island Florida... and then your video popped up next showing a tour of your property and home. So interesting. Loved it. A pot if work and common sense I see us needed. Thus was not like the HGTV shows. But rather more of a human and real approach. Thank you. Quite enjoyable and informative.
