The Autumn Winds are Blowin'

This is my attire before heading out for my one hour walk this morning. It was very cool out there; downright cold. Gloves were a must. I kid you not. Only one week ago I wore layers knowing full well that I would be stripping off the sweater before halfway through my walk.
Not today.
Do you see Kane on the floor? He's been out, had breakfast and is gone back to bed and it's not 9 am yet. We start early around here.

October in Ontario can be a funny month. It can be warm with sun-shine right to the end or we could have piles of snow by Halloween. You just never know.

As I walked along the beautiful country road, taking note of the change of colours in the trees, I stumbled upon these goof-balls. It's the same family that wanders over to the mouse-house often but today I counted only eleven. The original family was thirteen. :(

I recognized big daddy from all the dirty looks he would give me on our property.

Believe me, I stayed clear of him.

Whenever you went near the head would go up and he would stare you down.

I think he was telling me..."Don't think you're getting any of our feathers, lady."

I did find a few gifts again today.

Isn't that a pretty one with the blue? I guess it is from a Blue-jay.
A little soap and water and it will be gorgeous again.

Back home, Sierra was waiting to have a look-see at what I found.

                                                                      (not impressed)

They probably figure that with time there will be enough feathers for them to build their own bird. ha!

Enjoy your day.
Hugs, Deb
