Shopping, beavertails, deer and Henry

Your kind words are so encouraging! I have been very discouraged, with my lack of repair skills. It gets frustrating, especially working out in the cold. Joseph Brian is really good about fetching products from the store. I print off a screen capture of the item, aisle number, product identification. Once I sent him to the wrong store, having done my online research but failed to mention that. The poor man!

I cannot face going in to most stores. Last week he told me there was a screeching, screaming child, with a father laughing at the behaviour. JB told me he was glad I didn't go in! For me, both the teacher mode, and mother mode, kick in. 

The crazy 'freedumb protest' has been horrid in Ottawa. People are so upset with the attitudes and the behaviour of some bad actors. Some have left, but they aren't removing them, as the police are more worried about riots. I think they are worried about their own safety. The protestors honked all day and night, keeping engines running, spewing diesel fumes for the people who live and work downtown and intimidating anyone wearing a mask. I'd tow them tout de suite. No one can park there for three days at any other time. Just sayin'! 

Shepherds of Good Hope, a homeless shelter, had a staff member assaulted. A security guard went to help, and he faced racial slurs. They had to have the police tow vehicles as they were parked in their emergency spot. They faced verbal harassment, if they could get into work and volunteer. It was most upsetting for staff and clients.

 

Parliament begins today, it'll be interesting to see what happens. JB cannot watch. He just gets too angry. He's testified on The Hill, in front of a Senate Committee Transportation meeting. No fun.

 That said, the kids went skating on the canal, and had beavertails. They aren't actually made from beavers, but they are more like sweet, flat donuts, with sugar on top, and a choice of toppings. Caitlin said the conditions were great, and there weren't any protesters there.

The deer are out and about. I've since moved this trailcam. I love the young ones, as they get really fluffy. You Two deer  

   

Often, the deer follow my shoeshoe tracks, but Henry  chose otherwise!

 

I hope you aren't tired of the bunnies, there were two on either side of the snow bank! Cottontails sidewalk

 

 I'm having trouble with the positioning of this camera. It won't show me the cottontails. You can see the second camera in the snow on the far right. The bunnies aren't big enough, or are too fast to trigger the camera. Some cameras have a delay. The reason for this is so that a large game animal can get into the centre of the shot. deer in the dark  

 

I have a door that is leaking air. That is my project for today.
