GM Honk, honk, Qaplá!

Updated GM. I’m south of this county, but you get the general idea.

GM ! First snowfall of the season. Light overnight, gone before noon. Might get some Lake Effect Snow tonight/tomorrow. Literally, it’s all going to depend on which way the wind blows. We are about 75 miles from Lake Michigan and yes we do get it here sometimes.

On the wall at the local deer processing place:

GM! Only had a half hour in the woods before the guys showed up to pour concrete for the garage. I knew they were coming, just wanted to get some time in. I shared a video of the ‘fireworks’ I get to watch. It’s from a factory that makes flares, and this is quality control. Yeah, first day on the job would be fun shooting them, but as the years go on, the fun would be gone. https://blossom.primal.net/c8838db3df6225a60e259a80db2215a7a66ae84f82267db490ed10036e2c3b21.mov

Remember remember the 5th of November. Not familiar with the poem, but this song does come to mind: “Try to Remember" from the musical *The Fantasticks*: Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh, so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow. Try to remember the kind of September When you were a tender and callow fellow. Try to remember, and if you remember, Then follow. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, Follow, follow, follow, follow. Try to remember when life was so tender That no one wept except the willow. Try to remember when life was so tender That dreams were kept beside your pillow. Try to remember when life was so tender That love was an ember about to billow. Try to remember, and if you remember, Then follow. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, Follow, follow, follow, follow. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, Follow, follow, follow, follow. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, Follow, follow, follow, follow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Although you know the snow will follow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Without a hurt the heart is hollow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, The fire of September that made us mellow. Deep in December, our hearts should remember And follow.<grok

GM ! Pretty sure I won’t see morning temps like this for a few months:

Meanwhile, a little later: about 10 -15 yards to my right. Too small. Walked forward, then turned and stood right in front of me. Looked at me, but didn’t show that it felt threatened. I’ll see what it’s like if it survives another year or two.

Pretty sure that this little one ( camera 2 ) came to see me a little later:
