Well, not that cold, the wind. But pretty strong, and not warm. Did a bunch of stuff in the morning, then took off on a hike with dog. We did the whole hill today, hunting season be damned. (Jack was wearing his life jacket, though, of course.) Chickadees, yellow-rumps, and flickers in the wooded section; crows, a raven, and a robin on the old carriage trail. Quite a few people (and a couple dogs) making the quick up-and-down trek through the strong November wind.

Tonight there’s a nice waxwing moon. Orion and Jupiter rising.
