I have mentioned before how important the changing of the seasons are to me. I look for signs that signal those changes, and yesterday we experienced one. It was the first day of autumn that we had ice form on the pond. It was a thin layer of ice but it covered the whole pond. If the weather warms up it may melt away, but right now there is no indication that it will get disappear.
I blogged about the strong winds we got last Friday that blew down the big cedar near our house. I guess I am not the only one in the neighborhood that had a tree blow down. Last night when I picked up a friend to take her to the jam, she was anxious to tell me the news that had happened to her. Two big spruce trees close to her house also blew down last Friday. Luckily, like me, the trees fell away from her house.
A couple of weeks ago, one of her horses died. She had a backhoe come and they buried it. Last night she told me that a bear had come, must have sniffed out the buried horse, and dug up and was eating the corpse. Not the kind of experience one wants while still grieving her beloved horse.
