We ease into winter...

This is our set up, so far! We've been having fun decorating. JB is obsessed with his train set, and I quite like it. So do the cats! It is almost balanced, and the cardboard is unbent. It stood up in the basement and had a nice bend. 

First job was batteries. The taller houses have 3 AA's in them.  These little houses, below, each have three wee disk batteries. Of course we didn't have any extras. JB went off to look for them and changed our minds. Each one is $7. That's more than he paid for the wee houses! 

The bears have a sign.

The cats sit on clown pants, still. I don't know why she likes to sit on top of Clown Pants. He likes to sit in the head in, butt out. She is a control freak. 

I didn't venture out of the house yesterday. It rained all day, off and on. JB went off on his own to his Bone Mineral Density Scan #7, we hunkered down back inside. 

I did wander down to the trailcams a couple of days ago. You can see where the raccoons dig for grubs.

Funnily enough, Butch was on the trailcam hunting for said grubs! They stomp on the ground to disturb them, and dig them up!

It's been a great spot for the trailcam, a path between the forest and meadow, with the deer scrape. Even the doe pauses for an itch.

In the meantime, out front, count the eyeballs!
