Days 290 & 291 - 21st & 22nd October 2017 - Ruffed Grouse, the Lake and Leaves

Thanks for indulging me while I took a  little break. Mornings and evenings are cool and crisp now but it warms up considerably during the day - sun still feels strong. Saturday was nice, buzzed around getting some "light" housework done and roamed the hood. Made brown bread rolls. Larry and I walked as far as Lois' in the afternoon, enjoyed tea, a chat and a rest before heading home. It's the furthest he's gone  and he's making great progress. With some assistance reaching low bowls, etc. he made supper. Things are coming along with his recovery. Beautiful morning out there, daylight is creeping through the trees, a few fluffy clouds drift across the sky and the ducks are quacking for breakfast. Will be a good day for a roam in the hood and some meal prep.

Male Ruffed Grouse hiding in the underbrush - no way was he coming out so I could get a good shot of him.

Bright punches of color in the background bushes.

Quite a few trees are bare now but some still hold their color.



Enjoy your day!
