Non-mental Note: I noticed a lot of LDD moth egg casings. I'll have to take a spoon and some soapy water. I cannot do the whole 16 acres, but I can do some. This is my reminder. You can see the beige egg casings on the birch tree. The casings above the snow line will die. Let's hope.
Cinnamon and I went walkies. Well, actually I went out to the back, and whistled. He caught up with me. You can see how the wetland is frozen.
It's a nice forest! Deep breath. The walking relieves the anxiety.
Well, we had 8 cm snow overnight, with rain expected shortly and 8 C. temperatures. It's a mess. The driveway is done and I am wiped! More on that tomorrow!

First snow day. Our seniors exercise is cancelled when the buses are cancelled. The coffee is good though.
...the good thing about a cold winter is that many insects are killed.
Thanks for the winter walk!
I had no idea that porcupines chewed on the trees like that!
And the temps are dropping significantly in the night.
Your weather would be a mess for just about everything.
It's interesting to see the tracks in the snow. I haven’t seen those moths here, but we do get tent moths which are as destructive as these sound. I didn’t know Porcupines ate bark either. This shows me that I have much to learn, and I am always appreciative of the information you provide. Cinnamon reminds me of my old Ginger Tom, he never caught anything either for all his trying. The forests are so soothing, I like to get into them too.
It is a lovely forest -- I love the birch. I'm not familiar with these moths.
Your walkies are delightful.
