This week's post is a day early --- who knows where next week's will be from...
It's Canada's Remembrance Day at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Lots of red-and-white images up here on the hill: symbols of blood on the snowy battlefields and/or Canada coming of age? Lest we forget.
Another blast of snow --- from dawn's early light, along Grey Road #1, and frosting the finally fallen fruit.
In town, everybody's detouring for a year or more as the main bridge is being replaced. Too bad that a historic building beside it is going down too. For a turn-off lane.
Nature is coping OK with this early winter. Squirrels dig deep for another sunflower morsel. A milkweed pod bursts into seed: better late than never but the monarchs left weeks ago!
But we don't cope with winter as well as they do. The fridge has been emptied, the power and water closed down, and stuff is packed for three different directions. Tonight we're near the airport, at somewhere NU.
