We’ve had a really nice day here today. Yesterday evening I watched when the fog slowly rolled in and became rather thick, all dogs outside in the village was barking like crazy at the time so I think a wolf or a couple must have been walking around here. This morning I woke up just before the fog was disappearing again. After that we’ve mostly had sunshine and a weak wind blowing which made the day rather wonderful.
We walked down to the creek just after the fog had vanished, lots of animals had been running around because the dogs had to sniff all the scents on the ground every second meter or so š Birds were tweeting but we didn’t see any animals at all. We had come all the way down to the creek and started to follow it up-stream when the dog suddenly walked close together and a bit faster than before.
They kept on walking like that until we had passed the creek and was on the other side again. I have no idea if wolves were close or not but they must have been there shortly before we arrived. It’s when wolves have been around that is the only time Alma is quiet and actually does what I tell her to do š š š I did put out the wildlife camera, I hung it on my gate but the only thing it caught was a car and a cat passing twice. Well I’ve just looked at the screen so far, it could have been a fox as well but I’ll know better when I’ve downloaded those photos. I’ll have the camera there again tonight.
Otherwise I’ve had a rather calm day. I took a long nap and after that I mowed the lawn. I think I need to buy a new lawn mower, once again I managed to hit something, this time the teeth of a rake hidden in the high grass š , so now the rotation disk is so tilted that the entire mower shakes like it has some kind of disease š š š We have also had our pancake Saturday like always. The dogs get one pancake each and I get the rest that I make š Today I had apple sauce with my pancakes. I gave my neighbors some of my apples and got a jar with applesauce made from them. Tomorrow I’ll use my new fruit picker so I can reach the bigger apples higher up in the tree. I’ll have some myself but the rest will go to my neighbors. They are the best neighbors one can have š
The sun is setting and it is time for something to eat. The dogs will have their food later tonight, slightly earlier than when they would get it on a work day because if I’m not working it’s impossible for me to stay awake for that long š š
Have a great day!

Another almost cold night here. We’re on the western edge of Hurricane Lee (although I think at this point he’s Post Cyclonic Storm Lee). Fortunately Lee stayed far out in the Atlantic so only grazed the eastern edges of New England. We’re getting steady 30 MPH winds with higher gusts. It’s a funny day. It’s cold but with odd warm bits of air that float by. I’m about to put on wool socks even so.
I hope the wildlife camera shows something more unusual than a car and a cat. A wolf would be cool.
Scarier than coyotes but cool.

Hi Caryn!
I guess that it is the remnants of that hurricane we’ll have the coming week, not as windy but lots of rain.
I forgot to turn the camera on yesterday evening š š š but I’ll put it out every night until I at least get something.
Have a great day!
