Heck, I have absolutely no schedule and nothing to keep me on any time zone; period. I hate the fact that going from daylight savings to regular time twice a year and how it messes with my sleep and my whole body functions. <br /><br />LOL<br /><br />Anyway, those snowy images are super. And the flower buds...oh, and your new header is marvelous. Those raccoon tracks in the snow are so very fun and whimsical. No other footprints like 'em.

We had some on the mountains when our last rain came through but not down here. We should be seeing crocus soon but not yet. <br /><br />Those are definitely raccoon tracks. They are normally nocturnal but I have seen them very early in the morning. Daytime sitings are not that unusual especially when things are very quiet. There are several that walk through our backyard once in awhileSquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-66879484218535214512012-03-07T21:44:52.418-08:002012-03-07T21:44:52.418-08:00I love your new header - beauty and joy!

We have just survived an all-night-and-day snow storm. It was so bad that I couldn't see the river at times, and the river is only 100 yards from our building. Six inches of snow, I guess.<br /><br />No signs of raccoons here.

We got the same skiff of snow, being neighbours and all, eh?<br />Racoons? We have a family who visits us too. They are nocturnal - they come out at night and make our security light turn on.

Everything here has at least 3-4 inches of frozen ice/snow/rain/ice all over the front and back yard with a very few bare patches. Today the sun was setting way over the top of our janormous cedar tree, so we know spring is almost here. Aah, longer days and shorter darkness. Isn't that what we all crave DJan.<br />Really nice budding flower photo and yep, by gosh, the raccoons are about. Nice photo of the tracks too. Glad you held on going down those stairs - oh yeah, we have skunks about - they go by the house almost every night approx 9:30pm - Jack smells em before we do. ha,ha<br />Have a great day!

How cute!<br /><br />Flowers blooming and snow! Wow! Daylight savings time again already. Such a silly thing, IMHO. Be careful on those stairs.
