Day #5765 – (Sat., Oct. 18, 2025) – Halloween Sewing

Bobby was hard at work on his “Plague Doctor” Halloween Costume today. You can see him sewing the outfit in the photo to the right.

Katie finished off her PE course today. She just had to fill in a few questions like “What was the one thing you would change about the course”.

“Spot” flew up to the second perch to be with the other hens for night time this evening!

I read up on the “Ratinator” and how to work it to solve our rodent problem. Seems simple enough. I’ll get it working tomorrow. I don’t want to set our usual rat traps anymore as critters such as Maple might get a bit curious and end up on the wrong end of it. There is no way Maple’s snout can fit into this “Ratinator” device!

What a rainy day in the Comox Valley today was! Fall is here! I asked ChatGPT for a breakdown of the rest of the days for October, and here is what it said:
