Clouds everywhere!

Yes, indeed. The weather is changing. On Monday, the low light levels highlighted everything!


I love the dark clouds, looking as if it is time for snow. November clouds are different.



Tuesday was a bit chilly! 

The birds are happy with the feeders! This one a gift from son Jesse and his family a few years ago! 


On Tuesday, I could see a line of clouds. I watched them approach.



We are in for snow, at some point. The Great Lakes are quite warm, which means Lake Effect snow is more likely as cold winds pick up the moisture and brings it our way.


I'm still working on leaves around the house. The ladder is still up, as the wind is sending catalpa tree leaves into the gutter, and over the rooftop, onto the back deck.


I could hear the aquarium topper creak. I knew he was up there. 

I'm still working on a plan!

Having scolded Cinnamon off the fish tank, I looked out in the yard and thought I spotted Nutmeg. Nope! She was downstairs watching the backyard, for good reason. This was our little feral visitor (I think) that I named Oregano. He's back! He turned to look at me (Nutmeg wouldn't bother!) and rushed off  'quick and sprightly,' to quote Isabelle!

Oregano was a frequent visitor in winter. (He's an intact male – the worst kind!) I caught him on the front porch trailcams last year.

After walkies to the trailcams, I checked on the goldfish pond: two frogs and one toe biter. I caught one in October, so I figured there had to be two. [Moving the froggies] Catching it in the net, I took off to the wetland.


I moved the water beetle to the wetland. I give up on the froggies! It flew away before I made it, but hopefully in it flew in the right direction.

November weather

Yes, I be improving, but still numerous symptoms. Strangely, with the delayed winter temperatures, my annual bout with viral asthma, sinusitis, and bronchitis has delayed itself a month. It is slowly easing its way through. There is a lot of it going around. So says the ER staff. There is something to that nice, cold, freezing weather to chilling bugs of all types.
I would happily bundle up and sit outside in the sun with a book, but that has been less frequent.
They predict freezing rain tomorrow. We had some last Friday night, but it amounted to little.
More rain than snow!

Nov. 2015 = 54.1 mm rain,           skiff of snow.
Nov. 2014 = 15 mm rain and    25.5 cm of snow.
Nov. 2013 = 68 mm rain and     20 cm snow.

Lots of talk about Climate Change and El Nino. What a balmy morning it was. The froggies came out. Silly things.

About 4" of snow in Central Ontario, so report my Muskoka friends. That Lake Effect snow! Nothing here. There were thousands without power from the snowfall and storm.

Nov. 20 Lake Effect snow!

Funny, funny weather. There is a storm moving in. We had -6 in the morning, then 10 in the afternoons. Rain, and snow and wind in Thunder Bay,

Rain in the a.m., none during the ceremony. We attended a wedding!

Still many sans power in Ontario. About half seem to be out for another day, too.
