Rain, Fog

Thanks to a nice blast of rainfall last night, there was plenty of fog in Frederick County this morning. I managed to spot what appeared to be a fox on the way into work this morning. The fog was less impressive in Montgomery County. I also spotted a group of deer along the ride.

All in all, a pretty typical Saturday morning!

Windy!

This is what gusty winds can do. Snow has been gone for several days now.
No snow from the Noreaster.

Snow total

The snow total from the storm was 4.5". The deepest snow pile is at the corner signpost, where the snow plow created about a foot-high pile.

First Snowfall

The dogs are enjoying the snow this morning. This is the front yard at the house...


I took this picture earlier today. We have a fresh coating of snow, and the garden is covered.

Flurries!

Flurries fell at the house this evening, the first snow spotted of the Fall. I'm expecting another round of snow this Wednesday. A light dusting seems pretty likely, maybe an inch. It seems early for a Clipper system, but maybe I feel that way because it was 68, warm and sunny not that long ago.

Ending the blog?

I haven't gotten any new readership, so should I end this blog or promote it more?

2 Dogs, a Pig, and an Orchard Store

Today, I drove down to Butlers Orchard to pick up a pumpkin. Since the dog park is on the way, I decided to bring the dogs with me. On my way down there, I encountered a PIG wandering outside its enclosure. I thought I'd seen it all, but a PIG?!?

The Big Woods bridge is still not finished. If they keep working on it, I think it will be done by mid-December.

The dogs enjoyed running around the dog park.

Got Deer?

Just in case you didn't know this already by reading previous entries, deer are a common site on my commuting route. Today, I was coming home between 5 and 5:30pm, and I saw about a dozen dear just south of the intersection of MD 144 and Musseter Road. Five of them were hanging out on the street. I'm glad that deers' eyes are so reflective. It makes them pretty easy to spot. Also, they run off the road pretty readily when they see cars. Thank goodness they don't run TOWARDS cars!

Slowasmolasses

I can't stand it when people think it's their personal duty to travel 10 mph under the flow of traffic, providing an obstruction that all must navigate around and pass. UGH!

Muddy

After the recent rain, the mud is sticking to the tiller when I run it.
