Wow! 8 days into 2019 and I went snowshoeing on 5 of them. I took the longer snowshoes out and broke trail on the pond so I could extend the hike a bit. It's now 3.8km instead of 3.45km. It also gives me a different perspective. In the summer I'm looking through the trees toward the pond and now I'm on the pond looking toward the trees.

I love going early in the morning or after a new snowfall so I can see all the animal action from overnight. Last night was an unlucky night for a few mice and a lucky night for their predators. I saw one spot where a bird swooped down and grabbed a mouse; leaving wing imprints in the snow from the dive. There were two spots where coyotes caught mice that were tunneling through the snow. 
 
The moose were out and left a pile of 'gifts' right on the path that I created on the pond. They had an entire pond to do their business and chose to do it right where I walk. That made me laugh.

How did you do with your outdoor time in the past 8 days? Did you get out just for the fun of it? Did you go out for just 10-15 minutes of fresh air?  Tell someone what you did. It might inspire them enough to go with you on the next outing.  If you didn't get out for fun, try to set aside 10-15 minutes to get started with some 'you' time outside this coming week.
