Fall and bobcat and flowers

We are having the usual, unusual fall.  A few weeks ago it was chilly in the mornings and pleasant 70's in the afternoon.  Now, we are back to 60's at night and 80's during the day.  Poor plants get so confused.
Another week has passed and we are back to chilly mornings and temps in the 70's.
Not to worry, it will probably be 95° next week.
We sure could use some rain.
This past September was the driest September on record for our area.

As a catch up on events the past month or so I am making a list.
Rabbit invasion/decline:  There is a big bobcat in the neighborhood.
Quail visit: Still no sign of mama or babies. Hope the bobcat is not the reason.
Critter catch and release trap: Skunks, raccoon, 2 opossum, house cat so far.  Nothing taking bait lately.  Maybe they have left?  We still smell signs of skunks.  There are an awful lot of skunks in the area. A neighbor has racing pigeons and stated over 6 skunks caught and who knows what else.

 I took some lovely pictures here and there.
