It's that magical time of year when the leaves are giving a colorful show while flowers are still blooming, which means we haven't had a hard frost yet. The squirrels are especially busy as they are preparing for the coming winter. In fact, most of the time now when I see a squirrel scurrying by, it's got a walnut in its mouth. Then it buries it in one of the flowers beds for me to pull up later.
Unfortunately, I haven't had time to get out much with my camera to take pictures and consequently take a Second Look at most of this. (Did I mention, I'm still in the all house, all the time mode?) However, here are pictures of a few things I saw this week at the new house during a Second Look.

| The mums are in full bloom which is making a lot of bees and flies very happy. |
 |
| Does anyone know what this purple flower is sticking up above the ground ivy? |
 |
| Ailanthus webworm moth on mint |
 |
| Vincas, or as I call them, Real Estate Flowers. Vincas can stand a lot of neglect so they seemed to planted at every house we saw for sale. |
 |
| I am always fascinated as I watch leaves change colors from the top down. This tree is directly across the street from us. |
