The next three shots are the whole window view at this time of the year when more of the lake is exposed. Of course not all of the leaves have fallen yet. The first one is looking north-east with Lake Huron now visible behind the almost defoliated trees, then an east view, and finally the south east view. Springs come later here than even further south in Michigan because Lake Huron because of all the ice keeps it a tad colder. The reverse is true in the autumn; freezing temperatures happen a bit later in the fall because the warmth of the lake keeps us a bit warmer. It's a trade off, eh? The last few geraniums - first photo below - on the front porch haven't had a frost - yet.
We've had unusually wet and cold weather so the dogs have been cooped up and look a tad forlorn. Between the lousy weather I've had a few chances to tidy things up a bit n the garden and yard. The dogs have been hugging the porches while I'm been working! I try to give my dogs short and simple names that are relatively easy to pronounce in the hopes that those official registered names might actually become their call names as well and thus, perhaps, avoiding confusion. Not surprisingly, that usually works. They are all taking their C-Doxycycline to destroy the Lyme parasite, a bacteria named Borrelia burgdorferi, in their bodies and they are also wearing the Seresto collars against fleas, which they have never had anyway, and black legged ticks, Ixodes scapularis, carried by deer and small rodents. The rodents carrying the ticks and therefore the bacteria are more of an issue and harder to deal with because they can go everywhere. Bumper crop for ticks here this year unfortunately!
