There's been much excitement lately. Joseph Brian's birthday the 15th, our 8-hour power outage the 16th, the birthday party during said time. Monday the 17th, the vote in parliament to accept the Liberal budget. No December election! WHEW!
⏼⏻After a few comments about our long power outage, I have to explain that they are upgrading and replacing the poles in the area. Wooden poles don't last forever. They've been doing a few in a row over the past few years.
On the day in question there were power outages from freezing rain, it was freezing cold, and snowy. We want them to work safely out there. Joe's father died doing this work in Ottawa and lost his life working too quickly for Ottawa Hydro. We want them to be safe. The time didn't matter to us. It was a grand adventure. I hope my tone reflected that!
It was a lovely morning Tuesday, with three deer in the back yard.
I'd fully charged all our devices and finally made it outside to collect the memory cards. It's been cold, though. Our critters are settling in, getting acclimatized to winter temperatures, albeit early for November!

Great photos of deer, as always! Thanks for sharing about Joe's father. It does make me more aware of the dangerous weather that linemen work in. My oldest son does outdoor repairs for phone companies, but doesn't have to climb poles any more. Most of Florida has boxes to underground utilities where there are problems...or within business buildings. I know he still climbs ladders though. Glad you are getting more permanent poles for your lines! Your birthday celebration did look like a lot of fun.
I has seemed like a cold November, and this is after I had read reports of a milder-than-usual autumn.
So many creatures around your place.
Great to see the young buck ...
All the best Jan
A very dainty little man in the last photo. I love it when you can get a shot like this.
