Forest, trees, wetland

 The Aspen Grove, pretty much pruned by Barry Beaver and the July 1st windstorm!



With enough windfall, I can see across the wetland.

This morning it is -2℃ and there is frost. Winter, bring it on...

Off for a drive! Part 1

 Joe came home from doing groceries on Thursday, Oct. 15th,  and suggested we go for an Autumn drive. It could be the last of the colours. We were headed to the Old Kingston Road. You know the type, formerly an ambling path through a forest to get from Kingston to Perth. 

It was a wonderful drive, escaping the news, just having a quiet time on back roads.



Cottage country prices are shocking...



















Stay tuned for part 2!

Cinnamon walkies

 I have fun with him! He roars up the trees, and runs in front of me.


Nutmeg likes her heated house.

We did a couple of walks last week. He seems happier with the cooler weather. 


 



Barry Beaver's territory:


Cinnamon loves climbing these trees!


The little twerp thought he should superise the chipmunk in the drain. 

 

 They go out early, and then come in. They don't mind the rain if there is a purpose!

So much colour!

 The colours have been wonderful to see!

Here are my 3 black cat metal figures. They don't make good scarecrows. Butch raccoon left a deposit!

The feeders are up. So far, so good. The fox pops by looking for mice friends, as well as Butch.

This is the view out the bathroom window! A red sumac reflects the sunlight.
