A mix of seasons

A bit of snow is mixing with rain today. It’s 36 degrees.

Unlike me, Stella doesn’t seem to mind the cool, wet weather. It will take time to thicken my blood for cold weather.

Right now, I add sweatshirts to my ensemble for the day.

It’s just the beginning of the change of seasons. But my dog and I can cope.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Whitetail deer

It was half past six. I was late for a meeting at the library. These two crossed Cemetery Road ahead of me.

Even though I was late, I took the time to take this short video.

If you are not used to driving in the country, remember to watch for the second deer. It will come out of the ditch, following the first, and take you by surprise.

Stay alert. Stay safe. Keep an eye out for Wisconsin wildlife.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Hummingbird at feeder

The hummingbird sounds like a bumblebee. The loud bird sound on this video is from a neighboring bird, not this little guy.

When I refill this feeder I boil 1 cup of water and add 1/4 cup of sugar (4 to 1). It dissolves into a clear liquid and needs no color added to it. It is cooled to room temperature before being added to the feeder.

I’m so happy that this new feeder does not allow bugs to get inside, yet the hummingbirds can get their fill without a problem.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A trip to Wagner’s Market

If you look close, you can see the white honey on the right of this photo, about an inch down from the top.

After walking around outside, I found my honey inside and then walked around the store. There’s quite a selection of jams, jellies, pickles, and more. Tomorrow I’ll show you the jars I brought home.

This location is on the southeast corner of the 54-47 intersection. You can’t miss Wagner’s Market.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
