POST # 524
As I was walking home last night in the pouring rain, I came across this big black cat. Typically, they don't appreciate getting wet, but this one seemed to be enjoying the evening. In fact, it was looking rather aggressive, so I quickly continued on my journey.
It's that time of year again, so this place was one of many in the neighbourhood with a few new additions in their front yards. By next week, all will be back to normal, whatever constitutes normal these days.
It was raining heavily the day before as well, but the koi seemed to take it all in stride. Just another day in paradise, floating around in their pond out back. The temperatures are starting to cool off now, and once the water temperature hits 10 C or lower, I have to stop feeding them. They will then go through many months without food of any kind which is really quite amazing. Come next spring, the whole cycle will start again.
As the season progresses, the flowers are now dying and I have been busy trimming bushes in the yard, as well as giving the lawn one last trim prior to my imminent departure next week. I have been most fortunate to enjoy these flowers while I've been here.
