Wednesday night, we got a dusting of snow, and yesterday morning I was out in the backyard with China when I noticed a bunch of critter tracks like this:
These tracks, I wasn't sure what they were. Fox maybe? I googled and have narrowed it down to two possibilities: raccoon or big skunk.
I sure hope it's raccoon.
Unless it has rabies.
Now I'm off to run a few errands. Good news - my leg warmers arrived this week and were bestowed upon me on Wednesday! That was quicker than I expected. I'ts fun to win stuff!
Gonna go road test them now :D.

Wow! That was fast! And just in time, it looks like!
Those foot prints almost look like little kid hand prints. Not sure I'd want to run into that critter.... ever.
I'm so jealous of your sun! We haven't seen it in weeks, and I'm startin' to feel the effects. Share?
I'd say they are raccoon tracks :) that was fast getting the leg warmers I bet they make the rides a bit more comfortable.
We had one day this week with little sun. I was such a baby about it! I'm weak that way. I'm doing my best to share.
I'm 98.64% certain those are raccoon tracks. I'm still kinda hoping it's baby Sasquatch, though.
I think you're right about the tracks, Jimmy. And I love the leg warmers! Who knew they were so magical??
We have some experience with racoons. That's my guess!
You're enjoying some well-earned time off. Nice that you got to get out with Alice (at least I think that's Alice) and test out the new leg warmers.
Yes, that's Alice. I think you're also correct about the raccoon!
Long ago, we noted racoons getting into our garbage cans. One night we put the cans right outside our front door so we could bust 'em in the act. When we heard the usual rustling, we opened the door -- Man, those 'coons were the size of bear cubs!!
Snazzy gams.
I love finding critter tracks! So cute.
I was a bit spooked by the size of those tracks and can imagine the bear cubness!
Raccoons are so stealth! But not very good at getting rid of evidence.
Cuuuute! They look like raccoon prints. Because they have thumbs.
Fox? Sure those weren't bar tracks? You are up in bear country, right?
Never know what critter shows up in the dark of night.
