21. I have been out

walking every day. Now that deer season is over, I can walk the dog out in the fields and woods safely. Trying to get where I can walk through neighborhoods rather than "the sticks" come spring, summer, and fall. Going door-to-door, so long as the Corona virus is more under control. (If not, I have a phone and the internet, and will adjust as needed!)

In the summer, the dog liked swimming in the pond. As it got colder, she enjoyed wading. The ice on it confused her at first, leading to extended barking. Now she likes walking on the ice! Deer still seem to confuse her, as she seems certain they would make great friends if they would follow us inside.

I love looking at the animal tracks outside, including on the ice on the pond. The spring that feeds the pond doesn't freeze over, so everything heads to it for a drink of water. The warmth from the spring keeps the snow and ice melted offa section of the stone wall my son built around it.
