I'm much like my Dad
who enjoyed watching nature and
wondering about it.
Here's a "Funny Fri".
Snow in north central Kentucky
(which some call central KY, but it's not according to my map)
began on Sun, Jan 5
when we got about 8 inches of snow
with a hard layer of ice.
The snow on my deck stayed untouched by any animals.
Then Thurs, Jan 9
we got about 4 more inches of snow.
Since then most days have had a temp
under freezing.
I noticed a trail of prints.
We have lots of neighborhood cats
and Ferrel cats
that routinely check out my deck.
I believe all animals develop routines.
Routines are a thing of nature even humans should
and do adopt.
As I've sat here on my couch
working on my projects,
I've seen a cat or 2 prance across the deck.
Some pause in mid-step
to look in my direction
then move on.
Finally, I noticed
2 solid black cats,
probably same family,
walked across the deck,
one after the other.
When I got up,
I realized the track of prints,
were still the same
even after several cats.
Yes, they followed the same trail,
even somehow going under the chair
and back out the front
and on down the stairs.
All cats I've seen,
have traveled from my left to the right
starting up the stairs on my left you can see.
It appears someone finally decided yesterday to come the opposite way.
However, they made a new trail for the other direction
starting at the top of the steps
and traveled
across the edge of the deck.
One thing I like about snow,
is it leaves evidence of critters traveling.
Almost like we get a visual of the trails a dog can smell.
My uppper yard seems to have no traffic,
but the lower yard is an Interstate 65.
(which is in central KY).
My Mother always said,
"Old snow waits for new snow."
Many times she was right.
I'm rather tired of it.
Hope you enjoyed this Funny Friday.
