This Week at Iten's Acres: Mysteries November 1, 2016

The Mysteries of The Acres:
The gold fish are back. Not that they ever leave; they just disappear all summer. Where do they all go? When they suddenly reappear on the surface--tons of them. And how do they know that the "predators" have all gone south by now? Do they have an insides connection with someone at the Audubon Society?
So many re-blooming iris this year! (Not that I'm complaining). The white/rose-tinted one bloomed off and on for a month or so. I've had at least eight yellow dwarf that have been blooming and blooming. They won't quit. And I have two more iris that have just budded. If there's not a hard frost for a couple of weeks--they will bloom as well. If it stays warmish, will more join the parade? I've never had so many.
And the last mystery? Will my FA Syndrome come true? They are predicting a cold, snowy winter. Ah, life at The Acres. Better start working on my snow shovel muscles. I think I have one or two? And The Posse had best start scouting out places to hunker down. There's only two left--six inches of snow will bury them. Midnight should be easy to spot--a black puff of fur under a drift. Little Tiger--I don't know. Maybe they'll be smart enough to hide out in one of the sheds. If Homesteader ever got out in the snow, she'd be invisible just in flurries. Well, maybe her one blue eye would stand out.
Mysteries. Mysteries. Mysteries. Everybody loves a mystery. Or two. Or three. Or . . .
