This afternoon, at long last, October actually arrived. The temps have dropped and my after walk work actually felt like it was autumn. Of course, the leaves aren't really changing - at least not getting the vibrant shades, but some leaves are falling off.  I thought the change in sunrise/sunset triggered the change in leaves, not the temps, what gives?  Regardless, I fear we won't even see the beautiful colors this year - just a sudden drop of leaves after a sudden cold snap.

I was aiming to get another mow in this morning, but when I woke it was raining.  I'm hoping tomorrow is the day.  I guess the good news is, if it stays cool, the grass will definitely slow down.  The cooler temps have me wishing, once again, that I had a couple of windows down in the basement and garage so I could allow some cooler air in there.

The ghosts have gone out front, come back down, and went back out.  I need to buy some actual duct tape to secure things better.
