Moose on the Loose!

Brian was helping a friend work on a house yesterday, and when he came back out to the truck, backed up to the garage, he had company -- a big female moose (cow) standing right on the side of the truck!  The moose was not one bit concerned about Brian and just stood there while he decided to go back in the house!  Where's that camera when you need it!  It snowed on Monday night, and Tuesday morning the ground was covered -- very pretty to have the first real snowfall.  The temperature is in that in-between stage where it can be more like rain, but snow is predicted in the next few days.  We tend to not get big amounts at a time, I guess, but more consistent light snowfalls.  Went to dinner last night at the same place that Judy's Search Committee took the two of us when we were up here in March -- who knew we'd be up here and at home just 6 months later.  We walked up to the downtown restaurant to meet a friend and took a long walk home, walking her home first.  It was a beautiful night, and we love being able to walk to places right from our house -- a couple of wine bars, many restaurants, and the Coastal multi-use trail close-by.  Soon there should be ice skating on Westchester Lagoon!

  1. I think if I saw a moose by my vehicle I would just stand there, afraid to move and not sure if I would believe my eyes. Fred would just stand there & then have to go change his pants.

    Sounds like you both are having fun with your new friends, going hiking and exploring the area.

    We are going to have some snow tonight, just a dusting we hope.

  2. We've still just got a little snow, but any elevation around us they might have 6 inches or more! We saw three moose tonight on the trail that we were on and were going to walk right by them! We were going to do that when it was one off to our right, then as we were walking further we saw there were two quite close to us on our left, leaving us in-between -- so we turned around and chose to go another way!
