December Ushers in a Nor'easter!!!


We're "Ready to Go" as we move into December ... firewood/kindling in porch, new snowblower all gassed up and Christmas cards/calendars have arrived ... Crazy weather 0 degrees to 60 degrees  🌲

This looks just like our Beaver Lodge and the story below explains the Beaver's Winter!
Beaver bubbles! Temps. were down to zero overnight, completely freezing over the Quonquont beaver ponds. The beavers were still active under the ice, making trips to and from their lodge to their underwater food cache, leaving exhaled air bubbles trapped below the surface. #quonquontfarm
Overnight rain rushing water over the dam 👀

November Literally BLEW-IN


4th "leaf-mowing" with 2019 Cub Cadet tractor happening and trees are pretty bare after driving Halloween rain and severe wind (luckily very little damage) ... boat fleet is still on the water, but more time spent bailing out of water than getting out and enjoying Fall paddling in the boats!

4 mowings of leaves  ... trees pretty bare!

October Upon Us

The leaves have all fallen off our Maple tree by the dock (which is still 2 feet under water!), the garden boxes/pots are cleaned out, pond pump is put away, storm windows are being put back on and groups of ducks/geese are stopping to feed during their migration ... where did the Summer go?

HAPPY FALL    🐾


Beautiful Fall day for a ride in Peddle-boat!  😎
Camper Gwen, Mya, Willow, Emma 
Camper Gwen seems to enjoy the ride!

All stacked and covered ... thanks girls for the Help & Supervision!
It's been a long wait for Mya's "orange" size abscess to "ripen"
so it could be lanced/opened/drained, flushed and antibiotics
 started ... she's a good patient and feeling good  💦
Mya is feeling much better  👍
