Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, 2013

Posted on by

The moon is coming up later and later now, still the dogs and I go for a walk. We go around one to one thirty in the early, early morning.  I dress up like a huge abominable snowman—many, many, many layers…its COLD out there that time of night!  🙂

Night-Walk-2This was taken about 14 days ago.

One a side bar note–I would HATE to run into a Yeti…well, I wouldn’t see a Yeti here but there have been sightings of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch in Colorado.

There is some who think Bigfoot has been seen as close as the Lake City Area (which is not far from Montrose or Gunnison) so far nothing on the Uncompahgre Plateau or around the canyons next to our mesa….but one never knows!  🙂  da,da,da,da ♪♫♫♪

Night-Walk-1

Still off we go.  We don’t go for long and we don’t go far.

In the evening we either walk to the old tree site, (a tree the ditch company just had to destroy in the fire a couple of years ago), or we walk to the end of the grain bin field…both are about 15 minutes one way then 15 minutes back.  If Fuzzy could move a little faster we would get back faster.

(This was shamelessly taken from the internet-The credits are on the map the web site is here with other photos of Bigfoot in Colorado)

Since I don’t have worry about big furry unknown creatures, and the bears are sleeping away the winter, the dogs and I only have to worry about the coyotes, foxes, and big cats (the skunks are sleeping right now also)—which is why I don’t like to go far.  In the middle of the night  we just walk down the lane to our house.   Boomer has a bad habit of running off after smells, if I contain him to boring smells we both do much better.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!  We will have our big celebration tonight with all the family here.  Tomorrow is family day…buffet of snack foods and lots of family games.

Your friend,

Linda

  4. A cold winter’s night, at 1 in the morning, out walking????? Nope, not me…I’m too lazy to do that.
    Besides, I would never get back to sleep! You are indeed a brave and considerate momma to take your fur friends out at that time of night!

    Merry Christmas, Linda! Blessings!

  6. I can’t even imagine getting up in the middle of a cold night and trying to get clothes on. They’d probably find me the next day in a heap in the ditch somewhere. You’re Wonder Woman!

  8. Your early AM walks must be invigorating in the cold….Takes me 15 mins to get all my gear on in the AM to head out and feed cows! When its cold. Our snow is gone. 😦 Followed by wind to blow the water away. We have 47* today. It feels like spring, not Christmas!
    Have a beautiful time with your loved ones.
    I think I will go for a walk with the puppies. 🙂

  13. I thought Bigfoot were very shy Linda, and run away? I’d love to know more about them… had no idea there had been so many sightings… Hope you get back to sleep quickly after your moonlit rambles… I love doing that. Even as a little girl I tried to, but my stepmother called me back horrified !!!
