Days are still getting shorter and chillier up here. It's time to think of nesting ---- but some have flown the coop already.
Autumn leaves in our area are as brilliant as anywhere we've seen. Very picturesque on the pond but the skimming guy has to scoop them up daily or they sink and rot. Can you see us up on top of the hill??
The chip pile has been spread over the new trail. Nice and spongy underfoot but immediately covered with leaves, like the pond. We brought in my Cement Mixer to work up a load for split rail fence posts.
Salt with those chips? The annual shipload of road salt arrived in the town harbour --- isn't that freighter riding low in the waves?? The self-unloader dumped a big green pile in a couple of hours and slipped away in the night. Sixty-foot tandem trailers hauled it away; we'll see it spread on Highway 6 soon enough...
Hallowe'en and La Dia del Muertos are many nights away but two spooky omens brought goose bumps to the hill. First there was a pumpkin face in the clouds --- see the eyes and mouth? Then a ghost figure stared at us on the deck. Boo!
