Nothing. Apparently they've stopped all train traffic to the city after a gas leak.

On Saturday it was a cop blocking our driveway and a dead deer ON our driveway at 7am. A kid hit it on his way to work around 6:30am. We called a friend to take it instead of animal control and although it was a young one (born this year for sure), they got 25 lbs of ground of it and I'm glad it didn't go to waste.

Nothing of consequence.

Not that I'm complaining. I like a quiet neighbourhood.

Lots of birds chirping. Kira (the cat) is very attentive to this.

Breezy, temperate and our windows are open.  Fresh air is good.  We only have to close when our neighbors start smoking on their back porch.  The air currents blow the tobacco stench into our bedroom and kitchen.

Yesterday was 19*C which is bizarre for November because usually we have snow by now. Today it's 3*C but my body is not liking the sudden drop. All of the critters that gather for the winter have been having a field day with the warmer weather.

They've cleaned up the street. Looks really nice now.

Leaf blowers, weed trimmers, all of it. Lots of garden machinery in action this week. Can't remember the last time when they did something as extensive as this.

Oh, landscaping. I thought you meant you live on a littered street or something. Everything is well groomed around here, though it's weird I rarely ever see the work happening.  :dunno:

All night it sounded as though the cars that were going past were running over something. When I went out there this morning, I couldn't see what it was. Weird.

It's been raining for the last 6 hours and it's supposed to continue all day along with 90km/h winds this afternoon into this evening. Really glad I hauled in the extra firewood last night to run the woodstove and I have exactly nowhere to be today.

We live by ourselves, near a commuter train station, and they mostly forget about us. Littering isn't usually that bad, thankfully.

Some people still putting up fireworks around here. Honestly thought bonfire night was cancelled after we have been put on a national lockdown?

You'd think people had been alerted to the fact that there's a pandemic, by now.
