Today at Iten's Acres: September 25, 2012

Today at Iten's Acres:
Another rainy day. Ahhhh. Couple nice walks. There's a new member of the Acres' family. A large turtle came crawling out of the trees today and ambled his way into my pond. He must have come from Dennis' pond; but even that had to be some journey. Speedy Gonzalez he's not. He must have a pond GPS system. He knew exactly where he was headed and was not the least bit intimidated by my presence. Slow and steady. The frogs, on the other hand, were quite intimidated when he slogged his way into the water. I'm still looking to see if the hare shows up. Locked and loaded.
The old red maple is half red now. Another rainy day, a few cool nights, and it should be at its crimson splendor. Glorious. I would hate to live somewhere where there were no seasons.
Tomorrow is moving day for me. I've got some day lilies, iris, spiderwort, creeping phlox, hibiscus, and sedum to move to new locations. Why am I moving them? To make room for some new additions. Duh. More flowers in more places sounds exciting to me. Let's hear it for a winter of expectations.
