Mallard ducks came back for the afternoon, two females and a male, hanging around the pond to feed. They’re on their way down south for the winter. They usually only come around for a couple of months in the spring, I haven’t seen them here in the fall. Incidentally we have just adopted about 20-30 new goldfish, but we can barely see a one of the fish. They are all hiding out, and the pond is now full after the rains. I guess the nice dry late summer is over!
Images from the yard, October 2012. The garden is sure growing up! Lots of foliage still around from our good leaf-growing weather we’ve had this past summer, though not as colorful as it could be. Still a little color in the yard and still a few flowers…
