Tracks in the Snow

Thunder Snow woke us up early this morning!

Only in Texas!  Thunder Snow...That's what the weathermen were calling it.

But seriously, thunder and lightening woke us up around 5am and as we peered out into the inky darkness, we saw fluffy flakes of snow drifting down to cover everything!  By feeding time we had a very generous...dusting...of the beautiful white plush!

And in Texas, a dusting of snow is something to write home about...and take pictures of!  So, you guessed it...here's the morning feeding in pics!






And as we pressed thru the newly fallen snow,
wrapped in scarfs and mittens and downy coats,
we noticed the tracks.
They were everywhere...
And we became Hunters,
the good kind
that is... 
Hunters of Tracks.
They did not disappoint!


 There were Petie Puppy Prints...

And Bam-Bam Cat prints...

Oh I just love this one!
Mama Peacock prints....

And then there are Papa Goat prints,
that are fuzzy because he was after the feed bucket
while I was snapping pics...


He doesn't look one bit sorry for pushing me around, stinker.

And then there are...


No Daisy Donkey prints, because,
well, because, she was smart and wouldn't budge
from the warm stable.
Not coming out til the snow melts!
Food please...

And traipsing all over the farm yard are these fascinating prints!


The Happy (but cold) Goat Herder
bundled in layers
(that are fashionably mis-matched)
and anxious for her Hot Chocolate,
Fuzzy Blanket and Blazing Fireplace...


But before I made it back inside, I noticed one more set of prints...


And it made me happy because I thought how nice it was that all our
farm animals get along...
The peacocks and the puppies.
Walking side by side, keeping watch over each other...

Then I came to my senses and
realized that those were cat prints and
they were most likely stalking the peacocks...
I'm not the only Tracker in this pack.

Thank goodness our peas can fly high!

Praying your day is stalked by Joy
and that Grace leaves Forever Tracks in your Heart!

Love Always,
