The creatures of fall

Something has been chomping apples off our tree. And Moxe dog has been refusing to come into the house at bed time. She is too busy staring up into the apple tree- makes me wonder what is up there? We have tons of squirrels here but maybe even a raccoon??

I adore the sound of the cicadas and the frogs Heather.

I like how descriptive your post is.

Animals do seem to increase this time of year

I think there are some squirrels who are hoping for some extra food from me now that the autumn is coming, I have no nuts so I don't know hwat I can give them but they actually sat on my porch railing and seemed to angrily chatter at me

About a week ago, I think it was a preying mantis on the window outside. None of the cats saw it that day, but the next day Susie saw it and was trying to get at it. I kept telling her it was outside.

I like hearing the creatures of Fall.

I noticed that the leaves of the cabbage of my neighbor have holes, I suppose some critters are back.

When Pretty and I went shopping Friday, there was a huge grasshopper that kept trying to get in the car with me. It kept bonking it's head on the car door until Pretty asked me what I was doing. I told her I was watching the grasshopper trying to get in the car and missing the opening. She told me to stop being silly and get in so we could go. Preying mantises do have wings. They fly pretty well until they get huge. Cicadas are still loud here or else I've got tinnitus again... They both sound the same to me.

ugh grasshopper. Good thing I have not seen one recently

That's lovely that there is so much life around you.

Soon the mice will be wanting to come into the house. By then I hope Terminix will have all the entry points sealed up. Yuck!
