Big Foot, Moose, Llama?

Saturday night the girls mentioned that when they were outside in the daylight that they saw these strange foot prints in the snow. I told them they were deer and they said Oh no, not deer they were like this and drew this shape out in the carpet. It was about a 6 inch long oval by 3in wide and then on top had a 2 pointed crown. I tried to everything, moose..in Ohio? Big Foot, G rolled his eyes, Ostrich? They were having non of this. I had to put on my robe and mammoth crocs and go tracking out in the yard to look. Oh, and they reminded me to take the camera after G told them it was probably feeding time for the creature.. Thanks G. Anyways here's what I came back with. Okay at first I came in and said "yep, deer" but that was just looking at them with the flash of my camera, today when I looked at them I said those aren't deer those are rabbit or bunny tracks. You help me decide. You'd think I could tell the difference but apparently not. Below (the small pics) are pictures of bunny and deer tracks you decide..

Big foot, yep Big Foot and I survived. All was good in the house after that and then they went to bed to sleep another night without being taken by the mean ole' creature outside.

That was the Saturday night excitement.
Here are some pics off the internet from people that know more than me. You decide. bunny

Let it snow..OK, Enough already!!

I usually do pretty good at driving and taking pictures but last week I only got a few due to the layers of ice and snow and ice and snow on the roads. I bet I made it to 25-30 mph 3 times last week. One of the monsters took these pictures out our back door. That's as far as she made it. It was nasty.

We had to pick a girl up for dance in a neighboring town. We crept along.. I hate driving in this stuff.

This guy would pull up to the stop bar and tripped the light. We (all 10-15 cars) sat there yelling for him to pull up. Finally I went around him and then everyone followed. I think I saw in my mirror where he finally ran the red light to get through. I hear there is more snow coming today and the next few..Yeah, Yuck, Spit, Spat...I can't wait. I have had enough. I want spring.

Beauty to some

This week we got hit with snow, ice and then more snow. The kids were off school but it was too bad to really take them anywhere to sled. I made it to and from work the last two night with no trouble. My land yacht is awesome and I love it.. Driving to work at 1130 at night can be a bit scary when the roads are this bad but I stuck it in 4 wheel drive and off I went.. Here are a few pics from our front porch. When I woke up this afternoon a vehicle was off in the ditch in front of our house.

These last few look like the same tree but it's not.

Today

Today I woke up to snow on the ground. I love snow..at first then after mounds and mounds (which Ohio don't get that often) I get tired of it and can't wait for spring. I am glad that we get a touch of each season.
