2/22/09 EXPLORING TENTH STREET

Sunday, 8:30 AM. 11 degrees, wind W, moderate. Light snow is still falling, and 2+ inches fell last night. The sky is overcast but clearing. The barometer predicts sunny skies and it promises to be a fine, fine day.
The fluffy lake effect snow has rendered Bayfield pristine this morning, and there are few tracks as yet of any kind on the side streets. Newly fallen snow on a beautiful day makes the walker an explorer, even in well known territory.
Here are neighbor Sherman’s tracks, he was walking Pebbles as well as the dog they are “sitting” for friends.
There are the tracks, well spaced out and in-line, of a very tall runner, I think Scott from the Rec Center. There are very small canine tracks, probably a diminutive red fox. But for the most part, the trackless wilderness of Tenth Street is ready for a new morning’s adventure for Lucky and me.
