Footprints

We had a light snow last night. And when we opened the door, this is what we saw on the porch.


They are bird footprints, can you see? A small delight that you can only see in the snow.

When we came home later, we saw this on the roof.

Squirrel footprints. They like to scamper around the roof, then sit in the gutter and eat whatever has blown there. My day was MADE with just these two sets of footprints.

We are to receive 8 inches tonight. :-)

I am not sure if the zoo is run on donations? I know we have a free zoo about 45 minutes from us and it receives help from businesses.
