Foxy Kind of Morning

I wandered out this morning, to find just an inch of fresh snow from last night on the deck. I noticed some more fox tracks in the snow, leading to a small round melted spot in the corner, that suggested a little fox had been sleeping on our deck. The tracks led directly from the fox bed to our back door, then down the stairs off the deck. After waking up, the fox had come near the glass door to check us out, before leaving! That was a cool thought. It was a beautiful morning anyway, but that got me into an even better mood. A few minutes later, I looked out again, and noticed a rusty brown furry lump in the same corner. The fox had returned to continue her nap in the morning sun! It was worth waking K for this. She loved the idea of a fox feeling comfortable enough to sunbathe nearby. I'm afraid I captured far too many pictures of this event, which in the overall scheme of things probably isn't that big a deal, but it really made our day. I hope you enjoy the pictures too.
