Images from our hike today:
And here's our lake during the snowstorm and after
As you can see - the lake is half open! Guesses for the ice-out contest are now closed. I'll be posting the exact date and time soon I think - and the winner!
Dead things
Today on our hike, my dog found a half a rabbit. The bottom half. This led me to ponder the events that would have taken place for a half a rabbit to be left in the bush. Tragic and dramatic stories tossed around in my head until I could write them down when I got back. Inspiration for writing is all around me.
A half a rabbit isn't the only thing my dog has found lately. This winter she was obsessed with a chickadee that had unfortunately broken its neck on our window. Tanzer sat with it in the snow - even brought it on our walks for three days.
I'm never surprised to see her trotting out of the bush, head held high, with a deer leg danging from her mouth. We live in the middle of a winter deer yard, and where there are deer, there are wolves.
Dead frogs, dead ruffed grouse, stinky dead things I didn't even recognize.
What has your dog brought home lately?
