Well, so much for rain! Check this out, not exactly November in the Comox Valley but what the heck it's kind of fun. Much like the rains, other parts of the island got hit much worse. In fact we have only about 6 inches where Courtenay has about 10 and we only lost the power for about an hour. Some places down island have been out for over two days. Now they are calling for a couple of really cold days and then it will start to warm and probably dump a few more inches before it rains. Personally I would love to see it last but then I look out and see all the little birds that come here to winter and it breaks your heart. There were about 20 robbins in the willow today and they didn't look too happy. And even this old heron looks a little cranky.
