Slip-slidin' Away

Our walk this morning was cut short due to the attrocious state of our street. Our little loop off the main road doesn't get the attention the rest of the road does so they don't plow it very well. With the crazy weather the road has turned into a wet sheet of ice so slippery even Beyla's "4-wheel drive" wasn't helping much.

We almost got to the corner and had to finally turn back as we couldn't get up the slight incline as the road rounds the corner. We had absolutely no traction! It's ok though, with a couple days of this weather, it'll be passable for human and canine feet again soon enough.

Despite the road's sad state, the chickadees were out in force "fee-bee"ing their little hearts out in the warm weather. It won't be long before our walks get longer and more frequent as the forest opens up again. :)

Speaking of the weather, today was the day. The unmistakable day when the air changes and you know the seasons are truly shifting. It's an interesting thing, isn't it? You can actually feel and smell the change in the air as the seasons fully commit to the change. Spring is coming, and coming fast.
