Looking back; a year, and two, ago today
Two years ago, the movers arrived.
So began what was probably the worst move we’ve had.
Okay, so there may have been one other that was worse, but that was because we all came down with the flu and got so sick, I actually collapsed from illness and exhaustion. Which has never happened to be before or since.
But we didn’t have to deal with a moving company that time. They were supposed to make things better. Not worse! Having to spend hours in the van, with the cats, trying to keep our plants and fish from freezing didn’t help, either.
A year later saw things much improved. Rather than having to deal with all the hassles of moving, we were into our routine of keeping this place going –
– and sometimes finding damage done by the deer that were visiting regularly!

Photo of the Day: feelin’ blue
All summer, the blue jays were making it hard for me to get their photos. It seemed they could tell when I was trying to focus on them and would fly off! They don’t do that so much, now that things are getting colder. 🙂

Crabapple Cider Vinegar, part 3 – the finished product
The cider vinegar I made using our crabapples was due to be ready somewhere between Oct. 31 and Nov. 7, or to taste.
I checked the flavour somewhere in between then, before moving it to the fridge. Here is what it looks like.

This sauerkraut is from a very basic, small batch recipe. You can check out the making of it in this step-by-step post. (link will open in a new tab)

She looks like she’s having a chat with the cats she’s staring at in this photo. 😉

Photo(s) of the Day: water cats
Before things started to stay below freezing, I was able to give the bird bath a thorough scrubbing and add a bit of water. Which froze overnight, so I added more in the morning.
The cats just can’t get enough of that. Here, the top layer has frozen, so there are bubbles moving underneath that entrance them, but even while the water is freshly added, they’ll jump into it, getting their paws all wet!
Silly kitties.
They’re going to have to stop doing that soon, or they’ll get frostbite!

Not the problem I expected to have!
When we rigged up the shelf outside the sun room to be a cat shelter, there were a few things I identified as potential problems. The tarp is staple gunned in place, for example, and I could see those giving out easily.
What I never imagined happening, however, is what I found this morning.
