In Our Yard

We have to be very alert and keep watch on our yard.  Sometimes we catch introoders, like this one yesterday, who was chewing the leaves on our catnip plant.  It was nearly dark, but we caught sight anyway.

Scram! You need to stop nipping at our 'nip!!  We made lots of noise and scared off this thief.

Today is a lovely and warm day so Cookie had to go out in the yard, but instead of going for the catnip, he munches instead on our giant grass by the deck.

Our lovely nip plant

Moe:  I tried to convince mombean that I should go out as well, but that did not happen.

Mindy: I am content to have this lovely box all to myself, with the sun pouring in on my furs.

Mike:  I have the chair.  Of course it is the most comfortable chair and I will not leave it unless there is food involved - or - something exciting is happening.

We are all enjoying these October days.  We  like to watch the pheasants that visit our yard to eat the seeds our mombean puts out.  The baby birds are now as big as the parent birds.  Quite often the whole bird family visits and mombean has counted nine or ten of them!

Here is a sign that Fall is here - this oak leaf is starting to turn red.

A few more colorful leaves in our yard.

We are hoping we will have many more lovely fall days like these for a while yet!
