Fall update

It has been a rough few weeks for some of the dogs and fish.  Fern had a swollen and weeping foot.  Gunner lost his front incisors to the vet.  Two of the goldfish fry had dropsy.  But everyone recovered.

Fern having an epsom salt soak.

Gunner's swollen lymph nodes.

Happy fish.

The ornamental quince produced lovely scented fruit.  They say that the summer drought has put fruiting plants in survival mode, producing bumper crops in hope of saving their species.

Some late grape tomatoes from the plants that Orlinda and Avery brought in July.

The water hyacinths are now in the compost pile. They will make rich compost next spring.

The October Hunter's Moon.  Very spooky amid dark clouds.
