Winterized Woodland

The rising sun starts hitting the North Mountain slopes

before the guardians edging my garden.

Can't even tell there's a mountain there

because of the thick grey clouds

blanketing our world in winter.

Into the woods we went

It looks like a porcupine has moved in.

Though those tracks seem strange even for a porcupine.

Let a Rusty Pup out the back door

and this is the first thing they do each and every time.
