Pumpkins, walkies and bird watching

OK, I harvested some pumpkin seeds. I roasted them while I was preparing dinner the other day. Nothing like standing around watching food cook. That's what my former client, age 96 with 10 kids, used to complain about. Anyway, the next day, I couldn't find them. Turns out, I'd left them in the oven, having turned it off to fetch them later. Ain't old age grand?


I went walkies. This tree grew overtop a dead log. It has an interesting kink. Now that the log is rotting, I hope it doesn't fall over. 


Birdwatching has been fun. The goldfinch are wearing their winter suits. This one kept moving from behind the small bird feeder. 



Last weekend (Nov.11/12th), there was a flock of about a half dozen robins! They have since disappeared.



We've had a mild spell. I relented and moved 4 more frogs to the wetland. This brings my total up: 
I've officially moved 141 frogs. One escaped me in the pond. We've rain today. It might pop up in the double-digit weather.
