Oh Deer!

Monday 10th November. 6-30am

On the way to work I hit a deer
Damage to me........... zero

Damage to car...........

.....pretty light (pardon the pun)

I had no chance of avoiding the collision, the deer ran straight out in front of the car and stopped.
We met at 50mph.
Damage to deer.........terminal.
Insurance assessor has been and "assessed"
We await further developments.

Not a good start to the week.
Saturday 15th November

Evening skies of beauty and wonder.
Low temperatures are forecast for Saturday night.

Plot 2.................

........and Plot 5 get covered. Hey, I don't want the caterpillars getting cold, do I?
As the evening draws on it becomes pretty chilly. We think..................................

.....that it's cold enough!
A toasty evening by the fire watching telly is decided upon and enjoyed.

Sunday 16th November
Rising at 8-00am

It's a sunny...................

.........but cool morning.
I suspect that temperatures did not fall as low as was feared.

Wilson enjoys a brisk walk around the house then returns to the warmth.
Tommy takes a stroll down to the creek..................

....and returns with this. One very unamused looking Mr Frog
In this case it's "Catch and Release" and froggie is returned safely to his abode.
I uncover the veggies for the day. My Brussels Sprouts...................

........have been mauled.
The Cauliflower..................

..........aren't much better.
At least the Kohlrabi have survived.

So I pull one. This will be added to tonight's dinner of Beef Stew.
Composting.......................

.........continues.
I must point out that no infected plants are placed on the heap.
That would be asking for trouble.

So sorry to hear about the deer and your car.

But it looks like your winter plants are do well. Look at all that green! How cute that your cats can still stroll outside even though it can be chilly. Luka only likes the warmth of sleeping on top of blankets and only stares outside if I am not home. She likes to wait for me.

Hello dp

Well, there may be a lot of green there but I think it's going to all come to nothing. Insect damage has really set the growth back but I'm leaving things in for the time being.

Thanks for calling in.
