Our driveway obviously had an interesting night last night. When I went out to get the newspapers this morning, not only were there footprints and tire tracks from yesterday, but three different kinds of animal tracks. Small little cloven hooves from, I’m guessing, a deer . . . though it seems awfully small for deer. A line of cat paws along the edge of the driveway, and little, scurrying squirrel prints . . . or something like a squirrel. Rabbit maybe?

Darn, where’s my girl scout manual when I need it?

Although, actually, I never made it to girl scouts. I was a Brownie drop-out . . . I’ve really never been a joiner, you know?

And, um, no, Knit-alongs don’t count.

Booking Through Thursday

  1. Do you lend your books to other people? If so, any restrictions? I used to, but as a rule, the only ones I lend books to these days is family members.
  2. Do you borrow books from other people? (Friends or family—I’m not talking about the public library) Very, very seldom. If someone really wants to insist, I’ll read a book they lend me, but for the most part, if I’m recommended a book, I’m more likely to just get a copy of my own.
  3. And, most importantly—do the books you lend/borrow get returned to their rightful owners?? I ALWAYS return books I borrow, but, well, one of the main reasons I don’t lend books out to people I’m not related to anymore is that I’ve had them not returned far too often. So, no, not any more. Not if I can help it.

    I was a Brownie drop-out, too. :)

    They all look like deer tracks to me.

    Rabbits have big back feet so I don’t think those snow tracks are from a rabbit. How interesting to find all those paw prints, though. Do you have racoons there? that’s what I thought the tracks looked like.

    I was also a brownie drop-out. Looking back, it seemed too much like a cult. Maybe I was a pretty smart kid. ;)

    We only get cat prints and usually on the cars. Thanks neighbor!

    I never did brownies or anything like that since I had dance 3 days/week.

    On your booking bit…I NEVER loan books out. I don’t apologize about it either ;o)

    Definitely deer tracks, and maybe a dog or coyote… I wasn’t much of a girl scout but my dad taught me a thing or two. ;)

    I love your footprint photos! :-)

    I made it through the brownies but didn’t go any further.
