Waiting for Snow

.



The groundhog season is still on, but with the corn off, and Halloween around the corner, it's not too early to think about snow, raccoon and fox. The picture above was taken in January of one of my dogs entering an ice pipe. My notes say the dogs and I took a possum that day up from a very dry hole up on a ridge overlooking a wooded creek, but what I remember the most was the bone-chilling wind that was howling down the pasture as we checked a few empty fox dens. Mr fox was not at home at any of the most likely locations on this farm, and I think this was a groundhog hole drilled out by an animal waking up to evactuate its bowels.
