Monday Morning!

Monday morning: garbage day. They predicted -19 ℃ overnight. (It's the things that don't quite kill ya...!) I was thinking I could put it out the night before as the critters won't smell it, it'll be frozen. Too late. I was in my jammies. 

I ended up driving it out in the car, despite it only being -12 ℃. It is snowing, too!

Anyway, I had a great haircut. There wasn't too much traffic on a Sunday morn. My stylist is a sweetie. Thing is, stylists like to cut hair. The thing is that I don't like my hair feathered. It's easier to put a curling iron in it. Here is the before and after. 

Hard to tell which is which, but it's really cleaned up at the back. My last professional haircut was in the summer. My bangs get long and I got to it. 


I built Joseph a fire down in the basement, and he was cozy. Joe was up to his eye balls in football games. He's been running around doing groceries, which is good to keep the car going. We a headlight out, front left. I just thought of it. Non-mental note!

Sunday we decided to bring in pizza. We're too far out for deliveries. I volunteered. He knows I get stressed just driving into town. He was grateful. Crazy senior drivers. This incident involved entitled young people.

Something that bothers me is people laughing at me. They sat in the car and laughed. 



Trailcams don't always do well in winter. The cold is hard on batteries. The melt/thaw freezes them, too! I brought this one in to get warmed up and melt. I needed to replace the batteries, and I couldn't open it up. Frozen shut! I sat it on the placemat and it melted. I loathe the rain in winter. 


I am happy with some snow fall. The red fox crossed the highway, and came all the way up the driveway, and around the back of the house. The track is a little smaller than the coyote. 
 

This is a screen capture from my latest red fox video. It came onto the sidewalk. I've not see it in the day in ages. 


This is the exception. It looked like a young one. Dec., 2021, there was a fox trotting along. I grabbed the camera, and it just hunkered down and gave itself a wash up! Cinnamon was nearby, and I captured him gazing off along the wetland as fox took off.

It’s not snowing here yet, but then you are much farther south. 🤓

Fox would probably never be close enough for Cinnamon to really get to it, I'm guessing. Those people in that car were definitely behaving strangely. Love your new 'do'!! I have let mine grow since before hurricane. Somehow it's a statement about surviving but since old hair is thin, it ends up just looking shaggy.

One of my trail cameras died, so down to two. Mine hold their batteries surprisingly well. I found the rechargable batteries were not good in the cold at all. We are In for some snow today so I'm off to swap them out as soon as I finish my coffee.

Your hair is lovely. I badly need one but doesn't look I will get in now until the New Year. Shame on the young people in the car, very annoying of them to be so selfish and downright rude. Fun to see the fox, his manners were very good in comparison. Enjoyed another of your posts. Thanks Jenn!

Yikes...I must be loosing my mind. I saw your haircut and thought I replied. Love it!
We don't often see a fox here. One summer we did have them den up in one of our sheds and we let them enjoy it. But none since then.

If I have my trail cams just on small photos, they don't take as much battery usage as when I add the videos. I tried a brand called Garden Pro and they really do a nice job.
I had a Moultrie that lasted 8 years! It just took shots.
Enjoy the day.
