tracking

lately i've been wondering how close the coyotes actually get to the house. at night they sound like 10 teenage girls laughing all at the same time. they are so chatty and haunting. after a night of fresh new snow, i got the the sheer pleasure of stalking my little hidden night friends. i was surprised at how many different types of tracks there were in and around the yard. thankfully no coyote tracks near the house, but there was a trail from the field around the cars and off down the alley. the other night i turned off the lamp and glanced out over the snowy field to find 8 deer eating off of the grape vines and elderberry bushes around the fence line. have i mentioned lately how amazingly blessed we are to live in this whole new world?
