Wednesday we drove into the city to return my inoperable Christmas/birthday present trailcamera. It was a gray day, but a nice 1-hour drive. It was a success. The camera is charging, more on that later!
School went well for our grandies in Ottawa. I assured Josephine on the weekend, we texted some back and forth, that she has this. (Izzy doesn't normally answer my texts!!!) Momma told me that they slid right back into virtual school. They miss their friends, but we've learned so much about this virus. It could be 2 - 4 weeks, Ottawa's Dr. Etches said, but we shall see.
Everyone I heard from said the first few days went well. We've learned lots about doing online schooling. The funny thing was (see below), this is the school I went to in Toronto. Of course, the reporters and journalists have to horribilize it, click bait and all.

We had 11 deer the day following!
These two, You Two (AKA – 'the resident deer'), are quite comfortable around us.They've been around all summer eating my plants. I fed them, and brought the trailcam indoors. We don't need to feed them, but we enjoy it. Otherwise they stuff their bellies with dead weeds and branches, studies have shown. You Two deer from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
BTW – I emailed the company doing the airplane flyovers, and someone got back to me. It was a bit creepy until I figured them out. They did it on Dec. 24th, as well.
Thanks for reaching out. I am sorry that our flights made you uncomfortable. We were conducting a magnetic survey for research purposes, which involved flying patterns at various altitudes, and it sounds like you were located near one of the patterns that was repeated several times...The aircraft you saw is equipped with magnetometers that measure the earth's naturally occurring magnetic field. These sensors are completely passive and do not emit anything.
I emailed him back and thanked him for getting back to me. Puzzle solved.
