Fog and stuff

 The foggy mornings of November are here.  I woke up about daylight and it was really foggy..the light from the sunrise made it look really strange so I went back to sleep.  Nothing like avoidance. 

We had a quiet day at home tending to a few things.  Laundry, a bit of cooking and various odds and ends.  

Far Guy reports that a large deer was in the yard...possibly that accounts for an empty bird feeder either that or the bear was here. 

Today we will collect some of the things out of the yard for Winter storage and we will roll the patio table to the garage, and return the snow shovel to it's Winter home by the front door.  A Wintery mix is forecast for next week.  I am just thrilled...can you tell?

Foggy Morning

Chance and I were up before the sun, as daylight approached it became more foggy..until it was pretty soupy. We found this spot to watch the sun finally break through the fog. The Spotted Knapweed or Centaurea maculosa is in fine form. I have watched this noxious weed/wildflower take over our ditches one by one. I read recently that it might be an allelopathic plant..which means that it chemically changes the soil to discourage other plants from growing. Goats, they are the answer.. they will eat anything, I told Far Guy that if I had a few goats I could get a job as a Natural Spotted Knapweed Eradicator...Chance could herd something beside a ball:)
