We had quite a bit of rain, overnight, which made for some lovely fog this morning – and lots of water and mud to slog through!
When putting out feed for the deer, some of the usual spots I leave feed are all water right now, so I had to change that up a bit.
I wonder if our little buck will come over and splash in the puddle again? :-D
Continue readingWe have had some very long days, recently.
On the plus side, we missed driving from the city in the middle of a storm! The roads were clear while driving from the city, but in the time it took me to set my husband back up in his hospital room and start driving home, it hit. The storm came in from the south, so it basically followed us as we were driving. On my way home, visibility was down to 100-200 yards.
That kiboshed my plans to come back in the afternoon.
I headed out early to see my husband in the hospital, and did the feeding of critters before I left.
When I opened the doors into the sun room, this is what I found, staring at me!
With all the driving around we’ve been doing lately, one of the things I’ve noticed is how much standing water there is this spring, compared to our first spring here, last year.
In fact, we even have a pond in the old hay yard again.
Continue readingMy daughter had her first Sunday shift today; at only 4 hours long, we left later and I simply stayed in town until she was done.
As we were getting ready to head out, I popped out to see if there were any cats to say hello to.
I saw none, but heard a noise above my head. It took a bit, but I found her – Rolando Moon had been on the roof, and was making her way down the tree towards me.
She paused at their favourite sitting spot, where I could reach to pet her – and get a few pictures that I just love and have to share! These are in chronological order. :-D
That’s just how she rolls! :-D
It was quite a lovely day today, and the cats were enjoying it as much as they could! By the time I got those pictures, I had three other cats come out to see what was going on!
After I dropped my daughter off at work, I went to the hospital to see my husband. He was just finishing up lunch, and told me they were soon going to move him to a private room!
Clearly, he’s going to be there for a while.
Continue readingAs of today, it is now official.
We are a two vehicle household.
Sort of.
I was able to register my mother’s car in my name, but it’s still her car. This means that, if she needs help to get to an appointment or go grocery shopping, I can use her car, instead of her struggling to climb up into our van. I will make sure to use it once in a while, just because it’s not good for vehicles to sit around. Today, I plan to take it in for a car wash! :-D
But I am getting ahead of myself.
Continue readingThis morning, we were greeted with falling snow and just enough of a wind to be annoying. :-D
The outside cats were not impressed.
Some mornings are a lot more exciting than others.
That’s not always a good thing!
I just had to get a tire replaced on that van this morning – and probably should not have been driving on it at all!
Continue readingToday was our Costco shopping day. This was my splurge for the month. :-)
Continue readingWhen the piebald deer we saw last year, visited us again this year, I mused if another notable deer would return.
Yesterday evening, we had 6 deer outside our window. With the light fading, I took some video, as my phone camera automatically compensates for low light better in video, and hoped for the best.
Lo and behold, on reviewing the video, there I saw a butt with no tail!
Detail had returned.
I am so happy to know we have repeat visitors from a year ago! :-)
