Of all the things I've lost...

I miss my mind the most!

I had a wee problem. For the third time in the past while, I've lost another SD Card for the trailcams. The good one (32 GB). I think I have figured it out. I keep the spares in a pouch, in my video camera bag. There is a bit of a tear, but not big enough, I thought, to lose the card. I think it slipped out when I was shoveling the slushy end of the driveway.

Anyway, it means a walk outside to switch cards, back in to upload, then back out to switch the other card. It's good exercise in the fresh air!

I was quite excited, and too anticipatory. I saw this in the snow. I tracked the tracks and it came from across the highway, up the drive, across under the arbour. I was so excited. It was close to the trailcam.


Coyote tracks! They went right by trailcam #2, the lesser one. NOTHING! They are too fast. Argh. I have ordered a new camera for my birthday (Dec. 26th), and that will take care of that.

The farther trailcam captured the fisher, who a Facebook viewer thought might have marked the box.

The buck is still around, as well as a momma with yearlings. Coming home last night, in the dusk, there were two good-sized bucks feeding on the pumpkins, who bounced gazelle-like across the field.



In the meantime...  we don't usually watch hockey, but the boys were playing across the pond. The fans are a hoot.




I'm slowly tidying from the holidays. Sadly, the moment after I put the vacuum away, Annabelle leaves me a gift. Here she is in JB's chair, with a catnip toy left where she left her fur behind. This is the problem with her long fur!



Speaking of gifts, I shall have to play around with camera settings for the snowglobe Caitlin gave me. It is lovely!
