Majestic!<br /><br />And so fun that you were hunting the tracks with your group of kiddos. ;) Not sure what that little track is either?

It looks like Spring is trying to emerge over your way. I have never seen a skunk - they look pretty in pictures, but I am told they do have a strange smell. Love the animal tracks in the snow, and what a great walk for you and for the children.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-69699871777128261122017-04-09T01:05:35.735-04:002017-04-09T01:05:35.735-04:00Those blue skies fill one with energy, I think.

I bet the kids enjoyed themselves that day. I love old foundations, they do tell a story. Your skunk is sweet, as long as he keeps his distance lol. We have seen a few.

Skunks are funny little things - I've had a few encounters....One came right up to me begging for a hand-out when I was feeding the birds and my little cat made friends with it. I dropped the seed and backed away slowly........:) Hope you are taking care of yourself, my dear. xx Karen Karen @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-89211163933982812322017-04-06T22:33:31.508-04:002017-04-06T22:33:31.508-04:00That first shot of the Birch is great!

Such a great contrast against the blue skies. What a lovely trail to walk on. It's sad to see that old farm has died out to just the cement and stones. It must have been a lovely spot for a farm. I hope Mr. Skunk has moved on! You don't want him to 'let go' of his perfume, even under the shed! Have a great day and weekend.
