Just after 6:00am, as I was getting dressed, the light over our front step turned on. It is motion-activated, and I thought a neighbourhood cat might be visiting. I turned towards the living room to go look out the window and, surprise...!
When this one started to started to walk away, I raced to the front window to get a closer look. It was just in time to see a male about the same size follow her around the side of the house. I waited for them to come back around the other side, but they must have hopped over our back fence and left through the alley.
A nice way to start the day. :-)
Hallowe'en night brought flurries that continued on and off for the next day days. It started snowing in earnest - fine, icy beads of it - on the evening of the 3rd and didn't stop until yesterday morning. We got over 20cm of snow. The ground wasn't frozen, so shoveling paths around the house was slow (the shovel caught on the leaves and grass) and I'm sure it made for tricky driving on the dirt roads outside of town. School buses were canceled yesterday, though the schools in this region stay open no matter how much snow or freezing rain falls or how insanely cold it gets. (No, it doesn't make sense to me, either.)
