The Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Beach last Sunday
were well attended. The band of veterans is aging but the honours were freshly
solemn. Even little kids can sense the mood.
Elsewhere in the Beach the fallen leaves seem thicker than
usual. And the snow fence has been put up. Seems early, and it will be there
til April!
Back at Kemble, we need more than snow fence. Heavy snow
has been falling off and on all week. The thermometer is drifting down under
the load. Sunrise these days is low and grudging, as if it has cabin fever.
So out come the shovels for some heavy breathing exercise. Eventually
a path down the hill is cleared. Better do those errands in town while we can!
The local wildlife is still out there and
attention-grabbing. Turkeys are pigs. Cardinals are pretty. Squirrels can make you laugh.
.
Is it winter or not? The ground, trees, and cars are deep
in white. But this Clouded Sulphur butterfly is still wandering
around bare legs. True Canadian??
