Cold jumping beans

Woke up at 2 am this morning to the dogs barking like crazy.  I usually just lay in bed and wait for them to stop but when both bark I figure somethings up.  I should have stayed in bed.  First I stubbed my toe on the bedpost...that's what I get for no glasses in the dark.  Almost stepped on the dog who wasn't impressed.  That sent her off to the living room where she per-ceded to whine at the vents looking for imaginary mice for the next half hour.

There was nothing outside that I could see and the dogs finally settled down.  My last thought before falling back to sleep was I will see what they were barking at on the trail cam in the morning.

And it's a chilly morning here, -14 by the door. Got a fire started before going out with Vixen to let the pups out.  Just like every morning they were waiting patiently by the kennel door.

The pups enjoyed our morning walk to check the gate, fence and gather the cameras.  The pups were jumping around like beans almost the whole time.  Vixen, she just wanted back in the house right away. It was too cold for her.  It amazes me no matter the time of day the pups have so much energy, wish I could be like that. 

Gathered the cameras and was so excited to look and see what was around last night.  And...nothing! lol

Each camera took a few shots but I can not see anything in them.  So, maybe the wind or a small critter like our white weasal set them off.  I did get a good chuckle when I realized that I put up the one looking along the pond upside down!!   lol   The cameras will go back up tonight.  Right side up this time!

Today I am going to clean and organize.  I was going to start making some holiday chocolates but have decided to leave that for tomorrow.  Besides, I can't get to some things because papers are piled up waiting to be filed and I don't even like to look in the dining room area.  So clean it is and hopefully more tossing then re-placing items.

Posted below a few shots that we did get last night.  If you see anything let me know.

Hope you enjoy your Sunday and stay warm!
Hill cam looking along the pond.  Picture is upright now that is why the date/time stamp is upside down.
Can you see anything?

Another shot from the Hill cam looking along the pond.  If you are wondering what the lights are in the distance on the right side, that is a gas plant.
Can you see anything?
This is the camera put up by the barn looking down towards the garden.  When plowing yesterday I noticed what looked like large tracks down a ways but too far and too deep snow to go look.  Nothing went by last night, unless you see something?  The tracks that are  closer in the foreground are from us walking around and where we moved some snow.
