So far we really haven’t had a winter. Yes we have had cold weather, sometimes very cold, but we have had very little snow. In fact this is the least snowy winter we have had since being here. However, winter has finally arrived. It started snowing on Monday evening, then turned to rain on Tuesday, but last night the snow started and it hasn’t stopped so far. The weather man said we might get 20cm over the next few days.
This is what our garden looks like at the moment.
Last night we also had the deer wander through and because it wasn’t yet dark I managed to get some photos.
I seemed to have pressed the shutter just as something spooked them…
We went to Kingston yesterday and purchased some new fish for our tank. They are very pretty and I will try to get some photos of them to blog soon. At the moment they are still a bit shy and skittish, so I will wait until they are more settled before making them pose for the camera!
Also, last week we went to Toronto for the Autoshow. We took some photos but I have not had time to look at them and get them on my blog. Maybe soon.

I just happened to be looking out the window this afternoon and spotted a vole race across the garden to the tree. He then dived into the centre of the tree and rummaged around for food. I lost sight of him for about twenty minutes, but then he came out again. I got some photos but they were taken with the spotting scope and full zoom so are not great, but you can definitely see him.
Soon after this last pic a squirrel came running over spotted him and attacked him. The vole then ran off back to where he came from and the squirrel sat at the bottom of the tree eating.
