The snow is melting away. We had a white December, but will have bare ground for Christmas.

Today was a boring day and I didn’t take any photos, so here is one from after the snowstorm in November. Nysse needs and wants to be outside, but really doesn’t like deep snow. So when there is a lot of snow, I clear the deck for him, and the stairs from the deck to the street. When I’m done shovelling, I make paths for him in the garden. I make small loop to the tree, a larger one beyond that, and a fork to the left to the big rock underneath the thuja, where he likes to curl up and lurk.

I call them his catwalks. Naturally.
