Out of My Rear Window 9/26/10

Can you see the yellow mums just behind the red geraniums in the bottom right of the picture?  They are just beginning to open.  Other than the fact that my niger seed feeder has been mobbed lately, after not being used much all summer, nothing much has changed. 

My little vacation was lovely, and I got home yesterday afternoon.  I went to the North Country of New York State, and, from there, we explored some of the Adirondacks.  I suspect that a number of my blogs this coming week will be about that. 

I have a lot of catching up to do, and will get at it after I get the house back in order.  That was my one big disappointment.  The young man from next door was supposed to be taking care of the cats, and he did a lousy job.  The most annoying thing he did was that, instead of taking the dirty litter outside and putting it in the garbage can, he put it in my closed waste basket in the pantry.  Any of you who have cats know that isn't going to work.  When I got home, the whole house reeked.  I'm still trying to get the smell out of here.  That young man will not be given the opportunity to care for my cats again.
