Things that emerged from the snowbanks

Snowmelt is a time of discovery. All the junk that you had around your cabin reemerges from the snow, and you find things you have been missing since October. For example, I found a pair of skis that I forgot I had. And a second grill (it is of small stature so it gets buried easily).

I also find plenty of amusing things along the roadside when I'm running. Admittedly, it is a problem that there is litter on the roadways. On the other hand, looking for novelties keeps my runs interesting while I wait for the trails to thaw out. A list of (the best) found-objects from my runs:

A dollar bill
Hershey's chocolate bar in the original wrapping!
Sock monkey
Lots of chocolate easter egg candies
…there will be more
