There’s a wolf in the garden
We can now add another animal to our garden critter count – a Coyote. Yesterday I just happened to be looking out the window when I saw a coyote walk along the back of the garden. I couldn’t believe my eyes at first and ran to hubby who was in the garage. I shouted “There’s a wolf in the garden”.
He came to the window but unfortunately the wolf had vanished. After calming down I looked it up in our animal book and know that it was a coyote not a wolf. We knew there were lots around as we hear them howling at night, but to actually see one during the day was really amazing.
On the subject of dogs, this week we heard from the family who took our puppy from us. They say she is doing great and has grown lots. They sent us some photos, which was really nice. We are really happy to know that she is living a good life and obviously enjoying it.
She is getting big now!
According to the weather we are in for a huge storm tonight and 20cm of snow, so we have battened down the hatches and tested the generator and are prepared. It is ironic that before we had the generator, through the summer and autumn months we had half a dozen power outages. Since we had the generator installed, we haven’t had one! Not that I am complaining, I prefer not to have outages, but can you believe it?
Oh, I nearly forgot. We have been watching one of our squirrels frantically collect nuts and bury them all over the garden. But the other day we were watching him and he kept disappearing under our upper deck. We went downstairs to look out the window, which is under the deck and saw what he was up to.
There is an old discarded bird next under the beams and he has literally filled it with peanuts until it is overflowing. It was very funny watching him. See pic below for the result.
