Sally the Chilly Salamander

there is always a reason, and always a gift. Oct. 29th,  I chose to walk up the road into the cross country field today, rather than go with the horses up and over the hill. And on the way, I found this little guy. On the road. So cold he couldn't move. While they aren't uncommon, they are still rare to find. He warmed up in my hands, and then went off happily into the leaf litter away from the road. Spotted salamanders are the cutest.
