It's a Fisher

 Finally.  The trail camera caught a fisher!

Merry Christmas Everybody!

 

Oh, come let us adore Him.

Thirty Years Already?!

 So, it would seem.

We went big last year.  You know, the new furnace.

This year we will celebrate by painting the living room purple!

It's the Most Paranoid Time of the Year

 

Must be mid-November, she's donned the orange vest.  

I heard her telling a group of deer to stay close to the house.

Safety first here at Bad Dog Ranch!

Down Come the Rainbarrels

 The rain barrels must be taken down for the winter.  Frozen water doesn't flow.  My routine is to put them up around April Fool's Day and take them down around All Saints Day. 

These pictures are from August.

Sometimes the trail camera takes pictures of wind.  Rain is a little easier to see.

This runoff bucket is the reason the trail camera was positioned there.  My hope was that the camera would catch the culprit.  You see, every now and then this bucket is found lying on its side.  Who is doing it?  Alas. There are no pictures of anybody caught in the act.  Not even the wind.

Suspects abound.

Ducks like water but it's probably not them.

Not highly likely.

Other suspects:

Unlikely, a bucket is not her style.  She'd rather lick dew off the side of the rain barrel.
