JB's morning walk

It was quite foggy Sunday! These are photos with his little pocket camera. Not so bad! The spider webs look so pretty, with teeny drops of water condensing on them.

 

Morning walkies

JB and I went for a morning walk. There was duct tape from the Cyclosportive Perth. We've had several rain storms, and I'm wondering what will happen to it. I felt it, and it is duct tape, very thick. It's sad when people come from the city and do this. Then, they leave.



I've decided not to go on walks with him anymore, as the speeding vehicles disturb me. We cannot really talk easily, although we did some, as I'm worried about the vehicles. One of my triggers is loud noises, and these vehicles zooming by just unsettle me. Instead, Monday, I went for an afternoon walk in a RVCA park nearby. (More on that later!) JB was watching ball games.

It's pouring rain today, Tuesday. No walks, plus JB and I both are volunteering. Sadly, hubby has to walk around town with hot food in the rain. My client is afraid of rain storms. It's no fun. We shall see how much rain we get.

The rain is falling so hard, our satellite isn't working!

Back to our walk. One of his friends was hanging about! Well, two. One was photographed twice, while we were coming and going. She crossed the road after we passed her.


Someone has a new basketball court!


A creek runs beside a side road. I used to ride my bike down this road. I'm thinking next year I'll get going on the bike in spring. Or I'll sell it. Either way! That, and my canoe. I keep giving myself shin splints or tendonitis... sigh.


The water lilies are gone, all that remain are the photos!

The herons and the white egrets are leaving. The pickerel weeds have died.

The season changes.

The trees are looking lovely!

Do you like my Fat Head?

Mr. Fat Head!

We traveled to Almonte  (snow pellets, dark skies!) for bird seed and I spent the family fortune (again) to buy a Fat Head, as they are called.

I love their store, Gilligalou.

Such good people.
We have bought quite a few products for the yard, as well as bird seed. I keep spotting the red cardinal, and having to remember it's store boughten! The bird bath heater is from them, as is the bird feeder beside Mr. Fat Head.


P.S. All cats were sleeping on this lovely, sunny day. No cats have killed any birds all winter, despite dire invented cats-as-killers statistics!

My Fat Head

It's a bit of work, but what the heck. I took an apple corer, and took some suet, shoved it into the five or so holes. It was work, but more play. The sun shone, the birds were excited. I put a few sunflower seeds on the outside, just to entice them.
The Chipping Sparrow gave it the eye, as did the blue jay.
Once fixed up, I hung it and soon spotted a nuthatch. By the evening, Bambi was back at the feeder, too!


Then, I went for a walk in the forest. You can see, on the right in the first photo below, the broken tree is still standing, still swaying in the winds. [Broken tree in our forest] The deer trails are deep. They walk slowly along the paths in the chest-deep snow. Two of them were kindly trimming the lilacs for me just out the back yard!


Down to the frog pond...Where is that dock?! Ah, found it...The posts were a giveaway.


Here are the '"BEFORE" photos from the summer!

Worked hard on it!
With feline helpers, of course.

Soon...
