The Last Hurrah..............

The end of Autumn, we have had a couple of snow showers. Nothing but sleet really. Still the big one is coming. It will soon be the first day of hunting (15th) and so we usually have snow by then. I was hoping it would hold off for a time but apparently not. Naturally it could be gone by then I like the snow to hold off so the deer can get deep into the woods. Run Bambi run.........Supposed to get 5 inches tonight. We shall see.
Gerry raked the leaves at the weekend. Look at it now.


You would never know would you that the leaves were raked up already.
I had stocked up on bird seeds, but have already gone through that lot. The bloody Squirrels are just packing it away along with the Chipmunk who comes every day.

Little bugger built a nest right close by. They can lay in there and spy things out.

Wonder how many live in there? The end of the colours, trees almost bare now
Some pretty shapes though


Lots of rain and wind brough most of them down.

Chippy must eat his bodies worth every day


The cats usually get the Chipmunks, they must not be too smart or else they just want food more than life. I didn't get very good pictures today, The Nuthatch arrived and so did the Titmouse and Chickadees.



The mourning Doves seem to consist of two couples at the Moment.

Chickadees are here every day.


The girls are sitting waiting for Daddy so the door is open letting the cold air in, he is bound to complain about that. Not my fault, Bodi won't move.


Everything is wet and yucky today. Both cats are unhappy. At least it's easier to keep them inside, just wait till they see snow.
In this picture you can see the tail end of a Possom. It was on the deck last night but by the time I got my camera it was gone. Just got its bum as it disappeared.

We put in a motion detector light when Gerry did the kitchen and the outside lights were changed. it comes in handy but didn't stop Brea getting skunked the other day. We all have a slight odour hanging around us. Not as bad as last time when all four got it. Still she will be getting another milk bath tomorrow to freshen her up. That happened in the morning so Gerry was not fully awake when he let them out. Poor baby dog got it in the ear.
The dogs just went out to potty and the lights came on, this guy froze and stayed long enough for pictures. I opened the window and threw out some bread.......I hope he enjoys.



Wonder if he wants to be my new pet????? Kidding.
