Woke up to temperatures of +19 and by 10:00 +30. I headed off to the store and was their first customer of the day. Terry will be here on Monday, and I feel I should quarantine with him. The store is small and people are close, so I must avoid the store. Time to stock up.
I met up with Elsie on the street. I wanted to know why I haven’t see any animals. She said she saw moose tracks, but they’d been gone since fall. She saw a fox on the other side of the River, but she didn’t really see it a friend did. The rabbits are gone. The one wolf had an injured foot. And the “chickens”, spruce grouse, are all skinny. She didn’t give me much hope of seeing animals, but at least she gave me assurance, I wouldn’t be attacked by a moose on my run. It was so hot today, I didn’t need my mask, goggles, down jacket. Freedom. But I swear those were moose tracks I saw. And two guys flew out the road on snow machines dressed in camouflage with rifles slung across their backs.
Back in town I met up with Maisie and David. He said he had two moose in his yard yesterday. But then he lives across town from Elsie a good quarter mile away.
