To set the stage:

Thursday and Friday, nearly a constant 37F, but the ground is frozen so melting snow = ICY PUDDLES!

But, outside we must go!

Bear and I stuck to the north side of the property – more snow, less ice.

Tough guy Auggie, he did NOT let a bit of ice or ice water stop him.

Ahoy, there…

The dog is out there.

I am sneaky cat.

I am VERY sneaky cat.

Get ready, DOG!

Yes, well…he is the big brother…

But the chase is the thing :) !!

And then it started to snow.

A good thing.

Hopefully, the snow will combine with the puddles and give the ground a bit of “texture” making this evening and tomorrow’s walking a bit easier.
