Moderate in temperature...
Beautiful to behold - with amazing leaf - and sky - colours, day after day!
How to convey that on a nature calendar? It's impossible!
But every day I noted the temperature, the weather - and a few activities.
I didn't colour it in until the end of the month.
Five unusual animal sightings this month, though I just heard about them - I didn't personally see any. Some made it onto the calendar.
One morning, our neighbour's dog was sprayed by a skunk in their backyard. A day or two later, this same neighbour found an owl in his garage workshop. The owl had been chased there by 3 angry crows. The owl eventually left voluntarily, crows still in chase! Terry saw the owl; I just heard the crows!
My son who lives in the country also had two animal interactions. Driving home in the dark, he hit a raccoon, damaging his bumper. A week later, he heard a scratching sound in his basement and discovered a squirrel in his furnace room. An hour later, when the exterminator arrived, they couldn't hear or see the animal. They blocked up several possible entry spots and set several traps in the room. Not sure if any animal has yet been caught.
Terry also spotted a beaver in the country as we were driving along - but I was looking in a different direction and so I missed it!
An eventful month, as we tried to get out a lot and enjoy the weather!
