It got quiet now. Several days of heavy rain started the mud season. The driveway turned really soft, so I put more gravel on it. Still felt mushy when I drove over it.
Then came the frost and turned everything to ice. My car was frozen shut. It took me almost an hour with the heat gun to get at least one door open.
Finally, we got a few inches of snow and I tried out my snow plough. I guess, I’m ready for winter now.
Hungry birds
Then, I put up the bird feeders and got life back to the property as the feathered friends swarmed in.
Watch the two short YouTube clips.

I got a variety of visitors ...
… mostly tits. There are sometimes more than 25 fluttering about.
The second largest group of visitors are the bullfinches
However, when the jaybirds come, all the smaller ones go into hiding ...
Finally, I was able to spot a blackbird looking for some grains
