Crumbly Acres critters

💉 That was a day. Firstly, Joe had his quarterly Lupron injection. He buys it at the pharmacy and takes it to the nurse at our GPs office. Our government subsidizes the cost for seniors. Healthcare visits are free in Canada.

She pokes him in the intramuscular hip area. It hurt this time. It doesn't usually, he tells me. From there he bravely went shopping. We had to stock up for the storm.

Knowing there was a storm coming, the cats bought me flowers! 

The paperwhites had about 6 bulbs, but only one plant blossomed. 

It looks pretty in the dark. The camera gets triggered by snow. I'll have to shovel it later. 🚌 School busses are cancelled here and in Ottawa. 

I do enjoy birding. 

This beautiful starling has been around all winter. I love the markings. 

This is a photo from Feb. 23, 2003. In March we can expect some migratory birds to return, hopeful for spring.

🇨🇦 Flag day in Canada is Feb. 15th, Saturday. All things considered, we're celebrating Canada. I put on my snowshoes to access the arbor.

Canadian flag sales are soaring with this Economic Terrorism from our neighbours. This is good, as people were turned off with the Truck Convoy. 

The Facebook ads are landing with a resounding thud. Many are cancelling plans to go south to the US. You'll notice they limited comments, knowing how we feel. 

Since I already had my snowshoes on, I checked on the bunny. I think Labbit is in another of Fred's burrows. She's moving around.

Most burrows have two entry/exits. The one hole looks open, but unused. 

I expect she'll be hunkered down, waiting for clover in the spring. 

Here is the main entrance, under the tree. The evidence is evident!

We have a good snow base. It protects flora and fauna. I wonder how deep it will get today?!

🦌I don't expect to see our cottontail, or any other mammals, other than Dratted Red Squirrels (DRS) today. OK, probably a deer or two! I haven't seen a male deer in weeks. Since rutting season. They hang our by gender.

Turkeys are trotting. I forgot about them. We still have four males hanging about.
