freeze, thaw, freeze, SNOW!

Let me start with a weather report:

We did Facetime with our Ottawa kids. Jordan gave Aster an interesting present. He switched the heads on these stuffies. Thrifted gifts! They are a hoot!



Aster and Jordan left treats out for Santa and the reindeer! Aster is applying for a student exchange in July, to Ireland! Jordan is looking at a summer work placement in Montreal. All great excitement.
 

The cats are fascinated with 75! He figured out how to leap onto the feeder.  

 


There are three black squirrels!

The wetland near Barry's lodge was wet again, after our rain. 


The fisher was by. Barry is safely tucked inside!

Apparently it was getting a drink or playing in the mud. 

I accidentally set this to take photos, not videos. Oh, well. Here is the fisher!

The frog pond melted and refroze!It's seldom cleared and flat.
We're back into the snow. You can hear the crunch of snow as the coyote trots on his way.

 

We had a lovely dinner yesterday. Another one is planned for today. I turn 69 today. 
There is snow on the way. We'll see you on the other side.
