PSA, walkies, shopping

Let me open with our good news. JB had his quarterly PSA test, and it was the same as before, 0.008. The cancer treatments are working well.

We anticipate another rainy day. It's been off and on. It feels like fall. I usually begin with a workout, after blogging, then a walkabout. Cinnamon had to be dissuaded from playing with a small vole to come walkies with me. On the walk, there were small puffball mushrooms. I love them!

Teeny, little orange ones in the moss.

This is the area where all the bees are nesting. I've, at least, tidied it up in the early morning when they were still in the burrow and cold! There are mouse burrows, and/or ant tunnels they have taken over. 

We're happy sports are back on. We're following 🎾tennis and 🏀basketball. That has been a great distraction.

I keep wondering about this new normal. I went into town and bought paint for the decks, and a new roller, as well as spray paint to touch up my lawn ornaments. Everyone in the stores are duly masked. 

I haven't been shopping in ages, but JB cannot lift the paint can with his sore arm. I realized we didn't have paint trays, the old one had been thrown out, so back in the car and I picked up gas for the lawn tractor. Soon I'll be mulching leaves!

3 seasons: bugs, snow, construction!

I took the old school desks to the 2nd hand store. The girls have enjoyed them over the years, but they are beyond this. I hope someone can use them, although the proprietor wasn't confident about selling them. I didn't get much for them. Oh, well. 

On Labour Day, the kids went to a great aerial park in Quebec, Arbraska Laflèche. They had so much fun, and posted photos for the extended family. 

They are quite busy in the forest, now that the bugs aren't so bad! Mom and twins roaring around.

We've a doe with twins and a doe with a singleton. It's hard to tell them apart, aside from that. I love watching them roar around.

Then, good, old Cinnamon is still frogging. I missed a great video opportunity. The little round log on the bottom left had two frogs try and get up on it. It rolled and rolled and they took off. It was just like human log rollers. Some frogs are better than others at this!
