There are no horns on these critters for the deer hunters to find but there are some tails. The Katahdin breed of sheep was developed in the United States for a meat sheep that did not require shearing. In cold winter they grow a thick coat which is then shed in the warm seasons. Their name comes from Mt. Katahdin, the highest peak in Maine, the state where the breed was developed.

The deer hunters might be looking for the big rack of horns, but they better not shoot at this set of horns.

While deer hunters on the opening day of gun season are looking for deer, the deer might be watching the hunters instead.

The wind was lighter today than the past few days so the waves have lessen on Lake Superior but the forecast has stronger gusts again on Sunday which will likely bring back the Gales of November.

November is National Model Railroad Month and on a cold, blustery winter day, playing with model train indoors might be a nice treat. The amazing detail and hours that people put into their work can create a wonderful mini-world where life moves along the tracks. This model train set is in the Bayfield Heritage Association in Northern Wisconsin and depicts a historic snapshot of Bayfield including the industries of sandstone quarrying and logging.

My wanderings on back roads often have me stopping to take a photo of an old barn. And sadly, many of the barns I have photographed over the years no longer exists so it is a wonderful surprise to run across a barn years later with a new coat of paint. This one also received a new roof since the last time I saw it six years ago.
New Coat of Red
The string of nights with temperatures in the 20s has formed an ice layer on my pond, but there was a small patch of open water for the morning’s sunrise to leave a pink reflection.

After a couple days of the snow covering the lawn, I rather rewind time a week and see the carpet of pretty leaves instead.

More snow fell overnight so by Sunday morning, my driveway disappeared as it blended in with the rest of the white covered lawn.
Sunday Snow
The snow is falling and starting to stick to the ground and more is predicted overnight so winter is trying to move in even if I am not ready for it yet.
