Tracks

All night long, the falling snow
Covered up the world we know.
From my window, at first light,
All is calm, pristine and white.
In my rock wall I can see,
There's a hole stares back at me.
From it, looping out and back,
Tiny feet have left a track.
Could it be a small, gray mouse,
Trying to invade my house?
Did he venture out to know
How it feels to walk on snow?
I wish I'd been awake to see
When he left this trail for me!

This is a cute little story.  We are having some crazy weather.  Snow last night but it's gone now.  I guess they've had lots more in the southern part of the state.  Joyce

Joyce:  Thanks!  We have had snow for three days, but not today so far.  Made a trip out for groceries this morning in case there's more. I don't know what made the little tracks, but I suspect a mouse or a shrew. Very tiny feet anyhow!

Denise:  Thanks for commenting.  I think mice are cute too, as long as they're outside. Can't stand having one in the house!  We have cats so it's been a long time since that's happened.
