One of the charms of this neighbourhood is genuinely not being sure if the vehicle owners themselves did that, or they're coming home to a surprise lol

Made it up to 28.7 degrees in Ottawa yesterday with hazy sunshine. The bike paths were packed with people and last night was balmy like a summer evening! Low of 15.7 last night.
A whole May 2-4 long weekend that was hot, sunny and had no rain? Wow.
Headed up north. Pulled over on some random piece of asphalt on one of the country roads that leads to Bradford. Observed these gastropods all over in this spot. Only saw one shell. Not sure what was going on but a massacre happened here. All those dark spots are those that were run over.
And of course, there's a sign that says no dumping yet people felt okay dumping bags of garbage there.
Two chipmunks decided to make their hole home one foot away from the fire. We noticed that we when lit the fire in the evening we'd hear chirping coming from the trees. I think it was the chipmunks who wanted to return home but were afraid of the fire. At least we contributed many dozens of peanuts to their stash. They'd take from your hand but not adventurous to climb up your leg and what not. I'll have to work on training them.

Water was surpringly not that cold for this time of the year. Could comfortably stand in it. For people who like a refreshing swim, this might have been even too warm for that. But not warm enough for most people to enjoy it.
First time seeing a beaver on the property.
BILs cut down this tree a couple of weeks ago. Not sure what was wrong with it. Interesting to see the sap or whatever still coming out of it.
Despite this looking like a good fishing hole, and sometimes it is, this pool didn't even produce a single a creek chub or baby rainbow trout. During the right time of year, which was like a couple weeks ago, some big spawning rainbows would be in there. But it's a sanctuary at that time.
Finally getting a southwesterly flow, currently sun and cloud and 13 at 10am, highs pushing 20 today. Should be much the same tomorrow before falling back into the same northeasterly pattern again on Thursday for the foreseeable future.
A sweltering day. First 30 for my weather station.
I had a ball game in Chatham and it was even hotter there, 33 at game time. It tends to get real hot from Chatham up through Wallaceburg and Dresden and into Lambton County. Years ago I did maintenance at remote stations all over that area while working for Union Gas at the Dawn Hub. Nothing but flat farmland for miles and miles and nothing to stop the heat from building up on a sunny day.
