This household had trash out last Wednesday, Sept. 13th, when garbage day was the Monday prior. Of course, the critters got into it. The top floor of this house is being rented. It is also for sale. You'd think they'd do better than this in rural Ontario.
It was still there Sunday, Sept. 17th. The trick to putting garbage out in rural life is washing your recycling, and waiting until that day to put it out. Keeping a cover on the green bags is essential. Mostly the crows get into it. It looks like plastic has blown down the highway.
I put my garbage out at 7:30 a.m. It is lovely looking across at the empty lot, seeing the colours change.
The planter looks a bit lonely, but the petunias and lobelia are still OK. I could see my breath when I put out garbage Monday morn. Later on, the bees were out.
We had a surprising 13 mm rain on Monday afternoon. We are affected by the aftermath of Lee, formerly known as a hurricane and then a tropical storm. The storm is turning counter-clockwise, as it moves northeast. There was some thunder and lightning.
I am still tidying up the garden, and thinking about transplanting some stray lilacs to the front yard, when it rolled in. Up above, there was a flock of geese, then two more with 16 and 21 geese in two more formations. I was really glad to get more gardening done first.

I made another apple crisp, some hockey puck biscuits, and heated up some chili (frozen, from M & M's) for dinner. If anyone has a good recipe for biscuits... sigh.
BTW – I've come to the conclusion that it was the fisher who terrorized Cinnamon. It popped up on the trailcam.
