Fall is Coming... and Going

Can you guess my Halloween Costume?

Yes, it is my same costume from last year. I also thought it might be fun to re-visit my Frisky Fall post from last year as Fall is expected to arrive this week and depart immediately after. We are all pretty excited about it and anticipate it might arrive and depart on Wednesday. Fall is Mom's favorite season so she may not be commenting on too many blogs this week so she can soak up the season while it lasts. Winter is expected on Thursday as we drop from 80's to 60's.


Fall means my fountain gets shut down for the season. I may feel frisky in the fall but the fish sure don't. Don't worry though, I don't have koi breath, they'll be back soon enough. For now they are safely tucked in the fish tank, where I can keep an even closer eye on them.

Fall lasts for only about five hours here in the desert - when we wake up in the morning it's summer, in the afternoon we all gather by our TVs to watch the one tree (held in a secret location) change colors, and by the end of the day it's winter.

  2. Oh Fin, you should teleport up here for fall. It's been beautiful with lots of colorful leaves falling everywhere!

    I kind of like the idea of having Koi breath.

  9. We think you must be a bird...but since we weren't here last year we don't know for sure.

    Sorry to hear your fall is even shorter than ours...we haven't had much fall here. It's gone from Summer to Rain and will be Winter soon.

    Purrs and hugs,

  12. Poor Fin, only 1 day of fall. We'll join the other cats in inviting you to our house where we have more trees changing color than Mom & Dad can keep up with as far as the raking goes. Or, if you don't feel like traveling, we'll gladly send you a large pile or leaves.

  13. No wonder it's your Mom's favourite season -- because it's so rare! And in the desert, how do you really tell, because there would be no leaves falling to the ground! Is it a matter of temperature only?

    Fin's harmony with both your interior and exterior decoration never ceases to amaze me!
