While on Earth the States continues to be a dumpster fire, their best was on display with the flawless launch of SpaceX. The whole enterprise with reusable rockets and streamlined capsule a huge jump in efficiency. And those spacesuits are pretty cool too.
November weather is teasing us with wet snow, then light snow, then cold enough to form skim ice on the pond. Down the road, the snow forced these cattle to climb a hill to graze.
Our resident fox continues to fascinate while ignoring us completely. In one sequence she hid under a deck chair right at our window, then stalked the feeder area but no luck this time.
But the next time the 5 squirrels were a little too distracted at breakfast. Foxy Lady boxed them in, picked out a nice fat one, and took it across the lawn to the den. We're hoping next time it's a turkey...
Snow fall is inevitable and we're staying put for a while, so it's the last chance to get the septic tank pumped out and a jillion maple leaves piled away.
In fact, the snow is due in a few hours from now so yesterday the Dope ran a Rope down (up?) the hill. We'll be trudging up and down with backpacks so it's handy to have a hand-hold. Any Sherpas out there?
