Mystery Animal Solved!
.
Remember this above photo of the mystery animal pathway that I posted last week? Well, a couple of days ago we had a little visitor...he didn't stay long...hence the blurry photo below...as soon as I seen him waddling his way down our driveway I grabbed the camera. Yes, it's a skunk! And he looks awfully dirty too...I really don't care for skunks at all!.
I was actually under the impression that skunks hibernated in the winter but apparently after reading up on them, I found out that they don't hibernate like bears do...they just take really long naps huddled together with other skunks but they still go out to find food on warmer days. If he comes around again, I'll try to get a better photo of him.
.
Today the children have a snow day...we got dumped on pretty good last night...there is so much snow everywhere! Hubby still went to work this morning...barely! It's so windy which makes for huge drifts on the roads. I've been shovelling our driveway for the last couple of weeks for exercise but I don't know about going out there today...minus thirty, high winds, and probably over a foot of snow? Nah, I think I'll stay inside where it's nice and warm today! Perhaps finish up this project I have on the needles. Yeah, that sounds like a much better plan!
