What a week!

October ended with an horrific crash between Barrie and Toronto, on highway 400. Another incident with a tanker truck, which involved another tanker, 14 vehicles total. They are bringing cadaver dogs to search for bodies in the debris. This is becoming common.

Back to nature... last night we were treated to coyotes howling in the back 40. They must have caught something.
The week began with 3 days of rain over the weekend (100+ mm/4").
The goldfish pond is green and full beside the house. I have to drain the water barrel, which drains into it. It'll freeze soon.
 The frog pond, down beyond the meadow, is full of lovely water for the critters. The swamp grass is green!



Tuesday, Oct. 31st

I visited with my client, on the way home I had to stop, climb the bridge, and photograph the clouds and the rainbow. By the time I climbed up to the top of the bridge, the rainbow was much less visible.


I left hubby waiting for Scott, who does trees for us. This one had fallen over the house. By the time I returned home, they'd done the deed. It was quite a production, they covered the windows, and the air conditioner. JB put towels on the windows, just in case, and they covered the old air conditioner.



All went well. I have more clean-up to do except it's pouring rain today.

    Accidents seem to be a daily occurrence in this country, there never seems to be a day go by that you do not hear of a fatality. On a brighter side that is one amazing back garden you have

    Horrific crash. Too sad to imagine. The tree fellers, they are working across the stream from us, hope to get a decent video when they start again. Are you getting ready for winter, putting the ride-on away, emptying water containers and hose fittings? Once we had a timer on a tap, a little water must have remained inside, it froze and split!! Not often it does that down here at our place.

    And the rain continues here as well. The river levels are up. I've noticed in Central Park in the Glebe that it has a temporary lake.

    Sounds a horrible crash.
    You certainly are getting a lot of rain.

    Take care

    All the best Jan
