The Path of Least Resistance

We had a small snow about a week ago. Not much really, three inches at best. Thanks to colder than normal temperatures, that snow has stuck around, and around.

Out for our morning walk the other day, I had to laugh at the boys. As you can see in the pictures, not much of the snow is left. The ground is poking through here and there. But sure enough, they opted for the even shallower snow where the tire tracks were.

Whether it be single file.....



Or taking the double lane highway....


They always opted for the well packed portion of the trail....well, that is, until they smelled some deer poop off to the side. Snacking on deer poop always  trumps getting your feet cold!

  4. If I had such short legs I can't imagine I'd go very far off the track either. :)
