While watching Jeremiah in the goldfish pond, I picked up the fish net. Two goldfish are in the aquarium. A miracle. One more to go, but it is stubborn. I just hope I don't have to drain the goldfish pond. Fishie #3 has been warned that it is going to get cold. It still eludes me! You can spot it in the second photo in the lower left.
I poked my head out to listen for early morning birds. I couldn't see any, and many birds have headed south. Some are still hanging out in the forest, but they aren't singing. This is what Merlin thought he heard:
Can you smell it? BASIL!
The Woodland Sunflowers are drying up. Seeds are done, the Goldfinches like them.
The Horse Chestnut tree leaves (in the background) are browning up and soon will drop.
It's tricky photographing them. On the right, in the second photo, you can see my new fake plant. Joe is a good shopper! The wooden fake tree branch I have to lash to a brick. It was attached to a thick piece of slate, but it didn't weigh enough to weigh the piece down. The brick works well.

Glad you've got your fishies in a row! Linda in Kansas
Very colorful aquarium set up...I like the big wood branch too. The fake leafy things are good to add texture and more color. So glad all three of your finny critters are safe for the winter now!
Successful fishing. ;-)
I love that you take care of your goldfish for the winter. The season is definitely changing. I am wondering when our juncos will arrive. They winter with us and disappear again around April. I enjoy reading about the changing season in your garden. Happy weekend to you Jenn.
It is supposed to be a nice and warmish fall, so I guess that is good.
You saved the fish! Your petunias are looking good!
Well done on capturing all the fish. They can be v tricky.
You actually made me smell the basil! Much better than smelling the goldfish LOL. Much respect for all you do. Jenn
Your garden is looking fantastic. Well done. You must be fully over your Covid. And well done on your "fishing expedition." Gotta get up early to get 'em!
Congratulations on your fish success! Do t you wish you could explain it to them?
