End of Fall

We're awaiting snow.

We've had longer than usual fall weather.

Now, we need moisture badly.

It's been nice to hike through balmy fall days.

But, the forest is very, very dry.
A blanket of snow would reduce our risk of wildfire.

Yesterday, after our walk, I sowed wildflower seeds.
I smile at the promise of the seeds.
Perhaps next summer I'll see colorful blooms dancing in the breeze.

Early this morning, Silver, the large male fox, scouted our property.

I saw movement on the deck and watched the pine marten on patrol.
Later, I was startled by 4 bull moose stampeding through the forest.

I was glad I wasn't walking a path near them!

The wild things are alert and on the move.

We received good news this week. 

Bob's Urologist called to report that his bloodwork was excellent.

Though I didn't know I was worried, I shed tears of relief.

Now, we go on with life until his next test in 3 months.

As I finish this post, it's starting to snow.

Moisture in the form of white is my one good thing today.

Photos are of walks near the house in the past week.

Thank you for your visit.

Stay well!
