Goings on at The Acres:
Fall has arrived, but the leaves aren't
changing much. Dogwoods--and the burning bush are just starting to
light up. The pond has risen a little--water hyacinth are blooming like
crazy. No sign of the goldfish yet. A huge heron dropped by
yesterday--and I do mean huge--pterodactyl size.
The Posse is down
to two--Midnight and Little Tiger. Midnight is a constant resident.
He has decided I am completely safe. On rare occasions Little Calico
drops by. The other two greet me at
night when I come home regardless of the hour. And, of course, sit
looking in the doorwindow every morning demanding breakfast.
Homesteader enjoys the show. She was limping a little--at least when
I'm watching. Got a paper bag caught around her neck last week and went
into extreme panic mode. Destroyed the house until I caught her and
took the bag off. She has been holding up one paw since--unless, of
course, she's racing around the house, jumping up on things, flying up
or down the stairs.
Since we haven't had a frost yet--close a
couple nights ago--several things are still blooming. I'll let you have
a look at a few of them.
