Finally, photos of our "midnight marauder" taken around dusk last week. The critter keeps trying to break into our store of oil sunflower seeds - and it eats the ones that have fallen from the bird feeder.

| Lovely stripes, 'eh? |

| And a nice long bushy tail |
Cut flowers are always in order, but it seems strange to be buying live plants at the end of September. The climate supports them year-round, so we're takimg advamtage of that. Today we drove to Lafayette, CA (about 10 miles away) to buy the "bottle brush" plant we've been looking for. Of course, we found several other plants to take home, plus a nice pot for the new addition to our balcony and deck plant family.

| This bouquet has "Fall" written all over it. |

Callistemon "Little John" - aka bottle brush plant -
a bush variety rather than the tree one. |

| A better look at where the nickname comes from. |

| Pansies purchased today |

| The second bloom for a carnation that I bought in May |
 |
| It's nice to have fresh basil in easy reach. |
Orchard Nursery where we bought the bottle brush plant is very near the Lafayette Reservoir, a nice area for hiking and picnicing. We stopped by briefly to check it out.
