We'd had snow on Sunday. I slipped and twisted my ankle. It's good now, but I'm being careful. It was a shock, but there were leaves and snow involved. I fell off the paver in the garden, right under the camera. CUE LAUGHTER: 😝 🤪 !
I was quite proud of my dance, caught on video. 😣
It's flu season. We're trying to stay healthy. I'm glad ice seemed to work for my ankle. The hospitals are slammed, as usual. On Nov. 18th this came out:
On walkies (I trod carefully), I spotted a leaf sticking out of the nest box. Something must be in there! Maybe the other black squirrel.
The close up is out of focus, but I wanted to remind myself what it looked like.
It's still rutting season for the deer. We expect rain, then a polar vortex this weekend. Get out your woolies!
This tractor was headed to do something! It pulled over to let cars and trucks pass, methinks.
We headed down to the meadow, then to the frog pond. This is looking up the path to the highway.
The coyote had been along this path. Why run through the forest when you can run along the driveway and human paths?!
The pond is filling nicely for winter protection for all the sleeping critters: frogs, salamander, bullfrog tadpoles, and all the insects who need winter protection. Cinnamon roared towards, and up a tree. Happy boy! He's glad to get out and about with me.
It's melted some in the pond, in a strange pattern.
Down by the trailcam, this is the frog pond in its torpor.
From there I went up to the backyard to check on Barry Beaver. It is working beyond the shed in the wetland. Heading down the path, I noticed the coyote tracks. Barry best be careful!
Its been after another tree, which is hanging on. I've set up a couple of trailcams here. We'll see what I get, but I'm not hopeful.
It's down there, in maybe 2' deep water. I don't know how that will work over winter.
Guess who visited to check things out? My trailcams aren't great (aren't we all wearing out?), here is an older screen capture from a video of a coyote.

Jordan is having a grand time at Queen's University, studying astrophysics. He doesn't have any classes Fridays, but he writes:
"Every Friday there are physics colloquiums (talk from professors from everywhere about cool stuff), and today there’s one about exoplanets! 🪐 "
