    A typical winter here at our end of Nova Scotia consists of cold temperatures, enough to freeze the ground, then rain, then a dusting of snow, and back to cold temps. Every once in a while a storm gets thrown in the mix.  That’s about where we stand now. The ground is frozen and then it rained.

    Footprints in the snow

    On a walk today in the woods and there are plenty of rabbit tracks and such. A few small critters too, like mice. I am not sure what critter these footprints belong too. I know there is an ermine on the property so maybe that’s what it is.

    Leave it to beaver

    This beaver probably cut down the tree some time this summer. It probably didn’t fell in the spot the beaver wanted, otherwise the tree would not be there now.
