Are those deer footprints? We had big bucks walking the streets in winter when I lived over by Ft. Dix.

No, that picture was taken from an airplane. The little footprints you thought were rabbits are actually human prints. The big ones you thought were deer prints.....they are from Godzilla :) Have a nice day
 
I'll really have nothing much to do until February.

I've then got to think about the hedgehogs. We've only one in residence. I hope it survives the winter. The other two houses are presently in the shed.

I need to get a paving slab for this one. It was sitting on bricks. The posts and wire is to prevent any visiting cats, or a fox, getting at the food.

I'm also going to move the one that sits on these slabs, further up the garden, a bit closer to the house, it's probably a bit too exposed here for them.

I also need to make a new feeder, as this one has a split in the roof.

I'll be able to re-use the entrance I made.
 
I put 3 Wheelbarrows of Rabbit droppings on Compost.

Took Wheelbarrow full of Ash out of the Ash Bin. Put most of it out for the Chickens to dust in. Put a little on the Compost.

Repotted a plant for my wife.

Fell lost my phone and glasses. Reached my phone. So I accidentally called my son in the city but he didn't answer. Tried calling my wife she didn't answer. Finally called my son that lives close by but he wasn't home so he called my wife and granddaughter. They got me up.

We was to have a guy clean our flue but he never did. Told my wife guess you don't want me cleaning the flue. No you are not getting up there.

So my day went well.

You sound like a bit of a liability mate. How in heaven's name do you manage to shift barrows full of anything anyway with your disabilities. You amaze me. What sort of injuries did you manage to suffer today then? We'll have to have a whip round and get you a suit of armour I think!!

You need one of those necklaces with the button you push that goes right to emergency servicer. The one where the lady in the tv commercials says: "Help, I've fallen and I can get up " !!
Seriously, you could've frozen to death out there before anyone came to help you !!😖

They don't work. I fell one time in the Greenhouse didn't have my phone.

So I hollerd threw stuff at the glass. Started to break a Window. Decided that wasn't good idea being zero outside. Finally kicked some bags of soil out of the way and pulled myself up by grabbing a shelf.

Get in the house my wife thought I had come back in and she had went to bed.

Another time I went in the woods behind the house looking for leaf mold. Didn't find any top of the hill. Thought them leaves pilled up in the holler. I walked down just fine but found I couldn't walk uphill. So I was pulling my way up by pulling on trees.

I've doing pretty good lately.

Pretty wet and windy today. About 6 degrees C. A thin layer of ice on the pot pond in the garden this morning I put some new roofing felt on our twenty year old second hand shed a few days ago, so will go and check this today. Still solid - especially as a next plot's light galvanized shed has blown over twice onto our plot. They've removed and dismantled it now. I think they should have anchored it properly or fixed it to some strong hammered in stakes and it would have been ok.

Yep, it's 'orrible here too a bit of a let down after a lovely day yesterday. Having run a camping site here for about 40 years, it never failed to amaze me how thick people can be when erecting tents and awnings, especially the new, younger campers. One puff of wind and the tent sails away. A heavy rain shower, and I've seen an entire tent screwed up and stuffed into the rubbish bin, whilst the occupants have got into their cars and gone home :rolleyes: the oldies on site would refer to those as ''lightweights'' - the occupants, not the tents!
 
When I was a little boy we went camping in Cornwall, a camping site on a cliff top field. My brother and I shared a little two man US army tent that buttoned together down the ridge so each soldier could carry half a tent. I can just remember lying in it looking across the field where every other tent had blown down in a storm.
 
My good husband and I went to a Pow wow in central florida one time and pitched our tent on the edge of a wooded area, then it started raining. My husband was out there digging trenches around our tent to keep the water out. As it got dark another camper's children went floating by us on an air matress having the time of their lives floating about, giggling and laughing as their parents hollered at them to "get back here you two !!"

😂😂😂
