October Surprises

Biggest surprise (which I didn't get a photo of) was seeing a feral-looking, boldly stripped cat with a short, curled tail crossing the lawn the other morning.  Not Jackson, our neighbor's wily cat, but a wild bobcat!  First ever seen by us.
 
Toby's been seeding a part of the lawn this last week and discovered this little creature--a small and very shiny salamander.


Finally, finally after waiting all summer, one absolutely gorgeous, rose-red dahlia blossomed.  Others are on the way--but will they make it before a deep frost?  I have to figure out some way to encourage these dahlias to bloom earlier.  Happy to report that this is the only mouse we've seen in the house for several months!
