No more flowers.  Winter is not far ahead of us here in Southern Ontario, Canada, although this week-end promises to bring rain.  It's also warming up and becoming foggy outside as the afternoon draws to an end and in a few minutes it will be inky black outside.  This morning, waking up, I looked down over the pasture next door which had been uncut this year and found two deer having their breakfast.  Annie, who sleeps on the window box, announced that there were deer outside close to the house but she was good this time in not barking and scaring them off.  I wondered how things worked in this universe of ours that the deer are the exact same colour as the dead field grass...brown.  Their camouflage at this time of year which is not far past the week of hunting season, is very good. Annie and the puppy had baths this afternoon and I managed not to come away soaked to the skin this time.  The pup, Meg, was very good once I got her into the tub.  This house does not have a laundry tub oddly enough and I have to use the guest Victorian cast iron bathtub so the room needed 'dehairing' totally when through.  Bad enough to find human hair in a guest bathroom for B&B guests...but dog hairs...no.
