Deer, Good Bunny Labbit, coyote

That was a night! I woke at 1:30, you know how that is. Sort of got back to sleep. By 4 a.m. the chirping of the smoke detector telling me its battery was low made me rise again! I couldn't a leg up on the chair.  Fetching the step stool I had success. Oh my. Joe supervised.

It was a lovely day on Saturday. The sun was out, and on the front deck it felt like 4 ℃, which is amazing! I tried to walk down to the frog pond trailcam, but the soft snow and I had a meeting. Back to the house for snowshoes!

I did this while Joe Brian was navigating the Olympics for our viewing pleasure. We get it on Rogers/Shaw cable: 144 Ottawa CBC; SNE 301 – 304; TSN 311; TSN 314. We check the Olympics website to see who is competing from Canada, or our favourite sports, and when. It is a marathon!

Yesterday there were 14 deer, and 3 turkeys hoping for breakfast. Their wishes came true.


There were several deer beyond the shed, 2 just down the hill.



More snow, just a skiff.


Happy dance when the sun came out.

Good Bunny Labbit visited again. Great that we have messy birds! I did toss a handful of deer food under the bears and the bench. I hoped she could eat in safety. 




Out walking I could see that our big coyote availed himself of the driveway. I grabbed the trailcam cards and ran indoors to upload videos and see if I could spot him. 

Can you see the snow bank? This is from our young man who plowed for us. Remember that hill! The coyote had to jump it. 


I feel like I achieved something. I caught him on 4 cameras. Eight seconds in you can see him jump up on said hill, don't blink. Then he appeared on the other cameras.
