Book Club Socials & Pumpkins For The Deer

      Well, it's Monday again, and we continue our journey through my November adventures. November was a bit quieter on the events front, for me, and I was mostly just working and trying to stay well. 

I joined a book club this year, and while most of it is virtual, the leading ladies do host some in person events as well, and I decided to push myself outside of my comfort zone and attend one. This particular one there was a lovely craft market during the day, and then the snacks and swap in the evening. 

I was only able to meet a couple people I previously only knew online, as there were around 50 people attending, and apparently, there was more interest beyond that. Who knew this province was so full of readers?! 

The ladies who put this event together did a lovely job and had beautiful table decor too. I think we all discovered we like smaller gatherings though, where you actually get to talk to people, and get to know each other a bit more. 






As you will have seen in previous posts, I got a lot of pumpkins for outdoor decoration, and Raccoon had a great idea of what to do with them when the season ended. 

Our land was gorgeous even though everything was already settled down for winter. The skies rarely disappoint here on the prairies. 




I don't think I will ever tire of prairie views. It makes me feel like I can breathe again. 



Here Raccoon is hauling the pumpkins across our acres to the deer's favorite grazing and sleeping spots. Over the 4 years I have owned this property, I have definitely come to discover the deer's daily life patterns, and it's really helpful when we want to bring them treats. 



Raccoon smashing and hacking apart the pumpkins and squashes. Hopefully the deer were able to find them and enjoy some easy snacks before the snow came, or perhaps the moles and mice found it while carving tunnels under the snow. 

Who knows, maybe some of the seeds have taken root and we will find random vines growing next spring. Haha That would be so awesome! 

If not, it is good compost for the soil. 





And with that, I will leave you for today and return hopefully tomorrow with some new adventures. This really was a random post of unusual happenings.
