Sunrise, froggies, chores

 Such a lovely sunrise Tuesday!




I had a notice that my health card needed a new photo and renewal. I looked at it, and at my driver's licence, yes, expiring as well, on my birthday in December. My driver's licence was free to renew. The healthcard $90. Our premier is trying to buy re-election.

There was a decision to make. You know how bad such photos are? Should I bother with make up? Caitlin said I should! I'd feel better. 

Wednesday

We had a balmy day. It was weird. It got up to 23 ℃., and it felt like summer.


Joe took the car into town and had the snow tires put on. Yes, weird. There is cold weather on its way. We have another year for the summer tires until we have to replace them. 

The frogs woke up in the goldfish pond. They've been sleeping in the mud in the cold weather. The pond was down to 2℃.  I had to move them. It was good exercise.
  • Oct. 30 – warm day, moved 19 (see below!) and later 6, then 7 more  = 32
  • Total moved, so far this fall, = 61



I set them down, and they hopped into the pond. 

I got tired of going down to the frog pond. The third time, I went to the back 40. I was blessed with an owl sighting on the owl tree.

We've rain on the way. I've my respite client volunteer visit, so that works out. The leaves are nearly down. I still have to redo the eaves under the catalpa tree and the shed is ready, as well.

Make-up always helps! Our weather has been unseasonably warm, too. They say it will rain today and I suspect so. Temps will drop a bit but not what I would expect on the last day of October. Which is fine with me!

You do keep busy. The frogs were lucky that you were there to rescue them.

Well done on your chores and your frog work. Thank you. Seeing an owl would make my day.

You look beautiful, Jenn! I always wear make-up for photos. Problem is there's someone in my household who takes photos of me when I'm not prepared.

I love your header photo. All the colors against the vibrant blue skies. Lovely!

We're having that weird sort of late summer burst too... And the morning and evening skies have been spectacular. And you reminded me my licence and UK passport are due to renew!!! YAM xx
