Mushrooms, nesting boxes, walkies

My post is a bit late. I woke in the week hours, finally went back to sleep, then had a dream about buying an old house and property in Quebec, where COVID is rampant. Their schools started two weeks ago. Crikey!

As I have written, I am happy with the change in seasons.  The fungus continue to delight. (Small things, right?)


The next day, this one was gone.


This little one I photographed last Friday. It grew! The first photo was, as I said, Friday. The second one was Monday.

Pinks!


I went to check out the wood duck nesting box. The ducks are long gone, and critters often take advantage of it! [ Frog pond tails: mice! Dec., 2014;  (Red squirrel usurps wood duck nesting box, Nov. 2017)] I shall still have to check them in spring!

It had guests...

The door tips up, and the clever 2nd mouse leapt onto the top of the door. I couldn't figure out where it went, at first.


One box I haven't totally cleaned out. I must remember...


Nutmeg and Cinnamon were along for the ride. Nutmeg was below, Cinnamon up in the tree.




Back at the house, a little red-eyed vireo was giving Nutmeg the gears. It ignored me, yelling at Meggie. She ignored it, too.
