Driveway Party

It’s Sunday morning after an overnight snowfall—the first of the year for Rocky Point. I haven’t been outside yet, although the Mud Cat went out briefly before 6:00 AM. When I viewed the driveway from the upstairs windows to see if I will be snowed in today, a party scene greeted me, both on the hill and in the flat area outside my front door (see photo).

The prints were made by critters, probably raccoons. I don’t get a newspaper, and even if I did, no human would walk down the hill to deliver it to my house. There must have been a good band although I didn’t hear anything (I’m a heavy sleeper). In a few places it looks like the party goers were dancing the two step. The Mud Cat didn’t leave these tracks. His prints are smaller and, well, more cat-like. Besides, he would never date a raccoon.
