Autumn

P vs. vegetation competing with the seedlings.

Bushes in the nursery continue to get bigger. The new skirting boards and chicken wire are keeping out the rabbits we think were eating the plants earlier.

The forest machine shed aka "barn" has its new roof.

The cottage is partly under roof and we are on track to have it weather tight well before year's end.

We've been getting regular visits by our owl and have been hearing it and a friend in the evening in the alder & cedar woods to the north, and seeing it making low flying rodent runs very near our cottage.

Having taken an early walk up the drive, I captured an image of the rapidly changing sky at sunrise. We've seen few deer. We finally saw one four year old buck this morning up top. Our theory is they are hiding during hunting season though not being hunters, we don't exactly know when the season starts and ends. 

We are looking forward to spending some time going after blackberry plants again, soon.
