Middle o’ the day coyote visitation

Missed him in the yard today by about 20 minutes (his name is actually Wiley but I call him Pretty Boy):

I’ll have to be more stealth when I go out, he could have been there one of the times I was out there this am. Would like to catch them live, like I did the deer pair. He’s more skittish than the raccoons, who don’t give a fuck that you’re there.

November transitions

Had to water the yard a few times this past summer, but not much after the last post….a few good rains helped the green last through to this month at least. The deciduous tree leaves have mostly fallen, but the ground cover greens persist. Even the visitors to the yard agree:

Also, we finally harvested our year’s bounty of cranberries: just over two gallons! They’re all cleaned and frozen now. Can’t wait till they’re honey marinated and dried – yum.
