Desperately Seeking Signs of Spring
So it was almost like this unknown thing had appeared in the sky yesterday, and the day before, when it was actually sunny for a change. But just to make sure I wasn’t going to get all completely happy or anything it was also cold as …well, you know.
Seems I wasn’t the only creature seeking sunshine. I noticed quite a few tracks to tell me that other animals had been about.
Here is the sign of the rabbit:
Note that it is beside the track of the automobilus domesticus of the Honda family, species “Odyssey”. And, below, the rabbit is perhaps late, late, late for a very important date.
Triple tracks below! The right hand track is the domestic feline “Marshmallow” while the left track is perhaps a fox, and the track crossing horizontally is a small rodent, I think.
And then I got all happy when I saw signs that the beavers had been out. Perhaps they’d been sunning themselves on top of their lodge whilst I was out forraging at the supermarket.
See their trails up to and on top of that bump? It’s a snow covered lodge, trust me. And then it looks like they went on some sort of frolick!?!? Check out this trail:
Wish I could’ve seen what made them do this:
Or maybe it wasn’t the beavers at all. Maybe it’s like those crop circles…we were visited by aliens and it’s, like, a message:
ZA!
