Happy Crane Dance

The Big Dipper at 4:50 am this morning

Jake got me up to go out and hang out with Chupacabra and La Llorona in the wee hours of the morning. I got photos of the morning stars.

The Big Dipper, Orion’s Belt and Stars! Whoopee!

Dawn

Wow! Dawn makes me jump for joy!

Those colors are worth a bow

Black Cat Break

All right! A Black Cat Break!

Jake got stuck in the mosquito netting on his way out to watch the sunset.

Poor Jake! We’re jumping for him!

Woo Hoo! Look at those beautiful cranes in flight.

The Mountains are so beautiful! Look at all those towers!

Such pretty golds and oranges at dusk!

Happy Growlloween!

Jake turns into a Werejake on Halloween

Holy Jakamole! That’s impressive! And the rest of you cats think I’m silly to be wary of Jake! I rest my kitty case.

Hard Frost

When Jake and I left for our walk at 6:45 a.m., the temperature was 25º F (-3.9º C). When we got back home 55 minutes later, the temperature had dropped to 24º F (-4.4º C). We had been getting light frost for the past two weeks. This morning was the first hard frost.

Puddles on the paths

Still dawn

Almost sunset

With the rains comes the need to repair the culvert that we use to drive over the drainage ditch. I went into my one-man chain gang mode and filled in the holes caused by the rainwater ponding on the culvert. I paused to take a few photos as the sun was setting.

Fungus Among Us

Dawn is a little darker every morning. Soon it will be nighttime, awaiting dawn. Venus shines on the right, above the clouds.

It’s been wet enough to get some fungus among us!

A dark and cloudy dawn persisted throughout the day.
