Nature Friday - Veggies and a Cave - with Styx

Hi friends, hi friends!

I am going to show you some things that the Lady did without me, because I am nice like that and will share this blog with her. This may get me treats and to not have to wear a hat.

First the Lady would like to brag about this.

The Man thought it was a nice looking tomato

She grew a tomato. This is the first one off the vine. She is very excited about it. I am not because it is not food. If she was growing a chicken, I might be excited.

Second, after the people got back from Quebec City, our human cousin Troy came for a couple days. One of the things they did while he was there was to go to the Lafleche caves. These caves, about 15 minutes from our house, are the largest on the Canadian Shield and were discovered in the 1800s by a bear hunter who fell and found the enterance.

While a lot of excavation has occurred over the last century, there has been no important findings. It is just cool, both figuratively and literally (it stays between 4-7C/40-44F all year). I think I would have liked to go and climb and have all the fun. I had to stay here and be alone and bored.

That goose hissed at my people, I would have chased it away

Many of the paths are crawl only, so the people didn't go in them. 

It is summer so the bats aren't living inside

The natural entrance

I think this looks like a good place to explore and I wish I could have gone. I would have had a great time doing all the tunnels. I am little and fast. Lady says some of the crawl through tunnels were full of water, I may not have liked those as much.

Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event and letting me share nature.
