Footprints in the Snow

 This morning I remembered that there are plants downstairs that needed tending.  Visiting the cellar will hopefully become a part of my morning routine.  I had a little bit of dirt that I put some marigold seeds into.  Keziah picked up a cat grass kit that I added water to today to start growing too.  

Other things today that made me happy:

• Finding a different type of footprint, I think.  One thing that I keep reminding myself is that the snow can distort the prints.  This set has five toes instead of four.  Even with the track-card I am still having a hard time identifying footprints.  These could be a skunk, a grey squirrel, or something else...

• Another thing I saw was what seemed like a mouse superhighway.  Many small footprints that crossed over the trail.  So glad that these prints were on the opposite side of the property than the house

• Every month the current SCA royals hold a virtual court to recognize people in the Kingdom for their service and participation within the organization.  There are different levels of awards and people can dress in garb to attend.  During the weeks leading up to the court a team of people record the Zoom meetings that will then be pieced together and cleaned up for everone to see.  Tonight I joined one and got to see some people I know get awards.  Congrats to them!
