"F" IS FOR FALL, FOOD, FORD, & FOX

 Another week of wild weather. This week has seen awesome sunrises, record-breaking heat, ominous skies, and at this very moment drenching monsoon rains forecast to pour all day. Lightning and thunder too. Take your pick...




Out in the yard, Fall is in preview. Apple trees groan with a bushel-full. Migrants like the towhee are heading south. Squirrels build unwelcome nests one mouthful at a time in the loft. Bees lap up sugar water. And turkeys have reappeared, pecking at whatever. 





In the kitchen there's a pandemic of yummies. Pasta Pat-a-Doozey. Thick slabs of tomato fresh from the garden. And moist/spicy/nutty zucchini loaf for the loafer over on the couch.



But there is some work going on. The current major project is rebuild number 8 or 9 of the waterfall. Set rocks. Fill and fuss. Bail. Repeat.


Even good-lookin' things get bling. Can you spot-the-difference on the Mustang?


A thrilling return of foxes lately. This one was young and had a limp in the front right leg. But so beautiful, so intense in the eyes. F is for fabulous.
