Strolling around the property last week , His Lordship spotted an intruder.
.

Lord Dudley is a gentle soul. Mild mannered, sweet and usually quite skittish, but when he spotted the neighbor’s cat Silas?
.

.
Our resident Royal went full blown Jekyll and Hyde and started growling, hissing and screeching.
.

.
He tried to give chase but thankfully his harness did its job and saved me from running for the garden hose and paying a large vet bill.
I doubt Silas will be back after that frosty reception.

Continuing our walk, I noticed the sedum was thoughtfully color coordinating with the Man Cave/Barn Mahal.
.

.
And some of our backyard trees were putting on an autumn show.
.

.
My two weirdo daisies that only bloom after the first frost were doing their late season thing as well.
.

.
With some very sluggish bees taking final advantage.
