What Else We Did in September

Leo celebrated his birthday. After Sunday walk We had friends over for birthday cake.  Alas, too smoky to sit on the deck so we ate inside.

We walked down at Scout Island where we saw this handsome buck

And a beaver family.

Bears are wandering around the neighbourhood again looking to bulk up for winter..  We picked all our (eight) apples in time this year so the bear didn't get them but we found this deposit on the lane and somebody got into a neighbour's trash can.

Quarter included for size comparison. Diet consists mostly of choke cherries.

We went to the Hearth restaurant for lunch. Every year they plant sunflowers around the building.  Look at the enormous head on this one!

Two women included for size comparison
