Fort Albany, Saturday October 6, 2012

My eyes cracked open this morning to the very sudden realization that it was too bright! I flew to the window to draw the blinds, revealing this year’s first snow fall. It was a good couple of centimeters and clearly beginning to melt but it was beautiful. Everything was bright side up!  

It may be Oji's first time experiencing the change between fall and winter,  but he doesn’t seem the least impressed by the change in decor.  He and Bel accompanied me for the late morning walk and had a great deal of fun in the usual, and by now quite expected, guarding and exploring.

 It sat just above zero for most of the day so the ditches are all full and there’s hardly a patch of snow to be found. Fingers crossed it stays on the cooler side so that the roads and paths don’t return to their usual muskeg.
