bill_schubertI'm looking out front on our camera and the street looks to be solid ice. A few years ago I'd have gone out to take pictures but I'm not sure enough of my own abilities to stay up on that kind of surface. There are no cars at all. The whole area is silent and motionless but for the trees blowing a bit in the wind.
The temp on my phone says 17 degrees with a wind chill of 5 degrees.
The dogs have not been out yet but will have to do so soon. Fortunately the sun hits our back yard more than the front so they will have access.
Yesterday Beaux was out in the sub freezing afternoon and doing his thing in the back yard when he suddenly started towards one of the bushes in the back of our back yard up by the fence. He went right into it and was doing his dachshund thing when suddenly a rat ran out the back towards and then through the fence. A moment later a second one did the same. Beaux snuffled around a bit more and then worked his way back down the snow covered slope having done his job.
Toby had been nosing around up there a bit and now we know why. Both got a post vermin clearing treat.
