First, the bad news.
Monday, the owner of the property beside us is back at it. A friend emailed, notifying us of the court docket. He has more money than sense. He is appealing the denial of his property rezoning to the Ontario Supreme Court! Court appearance: Monday, Feb. 10th.
'WHYTE V TOWNSHIP OF DRUMMOND/NORTH ELMSLEY, CV-23-00000114-0000, family court room'
🐣🐤🐥I was asked if there is bird flu about. We are sitting on 16 acres, the neighbour has 120 acres, and the next neighbour, 600 acres. That said, they've found bird flu in Toronto. These are scary times for such. Neither our premier, nor the US are happy to track such things. The new US Department of Health has RFK Jr., who doesn't believe in tracking diseases, vaccines, or COVID!
🔥 💨 I was up at 3 am with the smoke detector chirping. The battery is getting low. I removed the battery, in order to get some sleep. I'll put batteries on the shopping list!
🌤 It's not all bad news. The sun rose, as it tends to do, and my friends showed up. This was 8 a.m., Feb. 6th. It's fun playing around with settings.

There are storms coming. I suggested that we need to 'get more gas for the snowmobile.' I am losing it! We don't have a snowmobile. The wetland isn't suitable for such travel, with plants sticking up all over the place!

I do need to refill the gas can for snowblower.
Saturday morning:
🌳 The oak tree leaves are finally falling. Our oak trees drop their leaves mid winter!
"Many deciduous species are marcescent (Wiki), not dropping dead leaves until spring."
They are lovely trees with beautiful leaves..
We had 6 cm snow last night. I'll have some work to do today, but first coffee!

Love the deer images. I hope someone is looking out for us, these people in charge won't be doing much at all. Take care, have a wonderful week!
I think you you call it a smoke defector. The batteries always seem tp expire in the middle of the night. he last time it happened to us, we couldn’t make it stop. It turned out to be the carbon monitor, but we were going crazy for awhile.
Loved seeing the doe bedded down next to the little duck or goose statue. Make me think, what does a deer think of a piece of sculpture. Enjoy your coffee. Our eggs situation as a result of bird flu will make it harder to have real Easter eggs probably this year. The evening news showed people already hoarding eggs. News cycles seem to glorify any little trauma. I'm over it. I'm already fast forwarding my taped news through the long winded politicians' continual blusters and what the commentators think of them. Funny how long it took me to get over it.
Why do smoke alarm batteries only lose their oomph in the middle of the night?
I think we got about 15 cm of snow. It looks pretty but is heavy to shovel.
Don't you just hate it when the smoke detector batteries start bleeping! It's nearly always in the middle of the night!
A nice selection of (snow) critters and trees here.
All the best Jan
Just a typo or clarification: you mentioned JFK Jr as the bad guy, it's RFK Jr who is the idiot. Unfortunately, with the wild bird population flying everywhere, I kind of presume everything that flies with wings has bird flu. Unfortunately, it's our orange idiot that is hijacking the health data from the CDC to alter it and is not permtting the output of current data. We're on our own to assess risk. Please save a room in Canada, we smart folks in the U.S. may need it. (Yep, never known a smoke detector to chirp during the day. When I lived in a duplex, I went out of town for a week. The detector started chirping, and my neighborn got ahold of me to get a friend with a key to go over and kill the chirp.) Linda in Kansas
We have some Oaks that drop their leaves and the others wait until Spring:) We replace our batteries twice a year as I hate the unexpected beeping:)
I just learned that word yesterday. Around here it's beech saplings that are marcescent. Glad to hear the sun rose though!
I love your oak trees. Love the snow too.
Yup. It's scary over here too. They've found incidences of bird flu. A friend of mine found a dead bird in her area and we've seen one too.
Believe me when I tell you all my friends and relatives are aghast at everything Trump has done. Our senators and representatives from Hawaii, even our governor, Dr. Green has been fighting to stop what's been happening with our government, but there are more Republicans than Democrats so it's an uphill battle. We are all scared to hear what that crazy man will do next with Musk as his henchman.
Both our smoke detectors and gas detectors habitually start in the middle of the night. Scares the poor cats silly and annoys the humans. Most of that snow missed us. We got, maybe, two inches, that blew around pretty good.
Good thing you got gas for your snow blower.
I shudder to think about what will happen with RFK Jr. and the health system.
Lovely shots. Sorry, I'm wayyyy behind this week.
No energy.
