We've had squirrels pull mosquito fish out of our pond—as told us by a neighbors child taking care of our cat while we were away.
Only one of my quaking aspen has been beginning to yellow up some... Soon they will litter the pond. The lilies are losing pads and stopped flowering, but it's not the temperature, but the sun lowering to below tree tops so there's much less sunlight on the pond. I can't imagine having to dig up my garden and store it away every year....
Some bulbs are just beginning to sprout, so I put down an annual layer of horse manure compost—on time this year, for a change! It's been an odd year—digitalis are just flowering now, and the alstroemeria are still blooming? Yet the garden is thinning out in places, but yes we don't see snow here either :'( .....I do look forward to fires in the woodstove.
