I got my wish
The snow started late afternoon yesterday (Friday), while the temperature was above freezing.
It continued and at a perfect temperature to mix with the icy puddles and make walking normal again.
We went from ugly to pretty and by this morning (Saturday) there was somewhere between 2 and 3 inches of new stuff.
Perfect…not so much that anything except the walk to the garage needs shoveling but enough to make walking around pleasant.
And overnight we had a visitor…
Mr. or Ms. Raccoon, but I think Mr. because of the size.
2 back feet and 1 forefoot print.
The forefoot print is about 4 inches long. Auggie has large feet but his print would barely cover the pad of this raccoon.
If it is the same raccoon that has been around since I’ve lived here, it is LARGE raccoon kind of resembling a small bear cub!
Lots of tracks through the yard, around the garage…
…and all around the house.
Sometimes, wishes come true.
