Goings On at The Acres October 15,2016

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.
