Snowy Crumbly Acres

It's been a mess out there. Rain, snow, sleet, graupel, etc. More snow last night, about 3 cm. After our melt, the driveway was good, almost. Just give me winter, and let it rest there. 



Joe carefully avoided the camera whilst sweeping. This was before the fall he had Thursday on the one little bit of ice I missed.
He hurt his hip and scraped his hand. He'll live. Nurse Jilks bandaged it. 

I have avoided the frog pond trailcam. Then, when I visit it, and bring back the SD Card, I realize it had gone to a default setting. Photos, not videos. I keep forgetting! People who camera trap can empathize. It can be cold and miserable, and one declines to reset the time or date.

I put the three photos into a video.

 

 As long as we are giggling, I don't know what I was thinking, but I turned it the wrong way, instead of having it face the sidewalk... 


   

 

This is what I was trying to capture: Labbit!

   

 The deer in snow.
   

 The fisher went on by, as well.

   

Chad Coyote is a handsome one! He is a frequent visitor.

He may live from that fall but it is definitely not fun, so please give Joe my best. (Rick was talking about him last night at dinner with friends, as we were talking about 9/11 and how interesting and fascinating it was. I hadn't heard about that part of his visit either.) I bet he's glad to have Nurse Jilks around!

The coyote looks very healthy.

This is a pretty coyote but in spite of the issues they can bring. So sorry about the fall. His hand looks like it is painful. You all really are experiencing a lot Winter

Your coyote is handsome! Poor Joe, I hope his hand and hip are better today.

So do the coyotes howl when they go through your yard. One of those howls would really wake you up.

Farmbeau still hasn't shopped for or purchased the trailcams I've promised to buy ... maybe this coming week in the city ... the last treatment is Thursday ... we'll do some shopping. When we arrived home Friday afternoon it was clear the deer have made themselves at home in our absence. But won't it be fun to see what else has been here during two weeks of non-human habitation! Perhaps a cougar strolled through. Never know. -Kate
