After being gone for nearly a week, and just as the whole family is deciding that the Prince of Darkness would never return to our house, and what we would do with the bag of food… at 08:36 this morning, he returned. Much castigation and scolding ensued.
Guess that three inches of snow we got yesterday made him change his mind about living in the wild. He appears no worse for wear, so he must have found somewhere nice to stay.
probably having a great time chasing & eating all the voles hanging around under the snow.
