Once a year a praying mantis is spotted up here. It's the only insect that can turn its head from side to side. That would have been handy for Pat this week. She inadvertently stirred up these paper wasps, got stung in hard-to-reach places, and suffered all week from rash, itches, swelling, and pain.
It's the most dramatic time of year for gorgeous sunrises. The days can be scorching hot but the leaves can't stop falling now.
Yardwork this week included moving rocks and layering mulch.
Creatures are sensing the change of seasons. Frogs dry out, squirrels load up, hummingbirds dart around faster than Top Gun: Maverick. Our Gem of a car had dangerous joint trouble in the safest of places --- a parking lot. A four-figure repair, but our prayers to stay safe on the road have been answered so far.
