Tracks today: Coyote (right), coming up.
Bobcat (left), going down.
Mine in the middle (up & down).
And those others - also in the middle, are from a young rabbit!
One of the joys of winter in a forest, to see what neighbours are around. ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ
โ Happy Winter Solstice โ
If you've followed me for a few years, you will know the winter solstice is a happy day for me - daylight gets longer from here, which means my power/electricity gets better. ๐๐โ๏ธ
Waving to you from Nova Scotia, Canada!! ๐๐จ๐ฆ

Thereโs nothing like a birdโs eye view of your home! ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ
Itโs rare for me to see animal tracks, without snow.
Seeing the tracks in snow is a favourite of mine, and one of the joys of winter.
Today I found this large deer track at the top of my lane way - near the house. ๐ฆ
Always happy to see what neighbours I have around! ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ
Reflecting today on how grateful I am, to still be living here in this forest, with all the forest animals who also live here, for 15 years nowโ๏ธ๐
Itโs not been easyโฆ
- I donโt drive
- Thereโs no running water
- Exclusively solar powered for my electricity
- Wood stove for winter heating
Not bad, for a big city gal! ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ

Itโs extremely dry here, after months without significant rain.
A young, energetic skunk bounced across the path I was on - about 10 feet away. ๐ฆจ
It jumped up and down a few times, and then went in its wayโฆ ๐ฎโ๐จ
Too quick a visit for a picture, but love how comfortable it was with me so close - no sign of fear or this would have been a smelly story. ๐ฌ๐
