Finter

It would seem that there's a new season that's been created here in Alaska the last few days- I'm calling it Finter. Buck is very confused about seasons just creating themselves and was hoping you folks could help him figure out what season it actually was. Here are some examples from our walk this afternoon to aid in your decision making process. He appreciates the help.

Buck says, 'These leaves are green and yellow but they have fallen on top of *snow*. (click to inspect larger images)


Buck ponders, 'Here the leaves are yellow and the grass is very green, but shouldn't the snow be on top of all of it?'


Utterly lost, Buck says, 'What the heck?! A GREEN tree, fully leaved *and* snow?'


See? Don't you all agree with me? Finter, baby. Buck just enjoys running around in the snow, sniffing every footprint, and then curling up all warm and snuggly inside. Snow = good, whatever the season.

Dear Buck--don't let your mom try to fool you--there are only four seasons. If there is a "Finter," then there would have to be a "Wall." That is really strange!!! Sometimes, Mother Nature does weird things to make you wonder what season you are in. This might just be a precursor to what to expect later on. She just wants you to enjoy the "best of two seasons" and jump and play in both the leaves and snow. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
