Been a bit too busy to mention it before but the fall colors peaked around here on Tuesday with a beautiful orange, like a pumpkin. "What has this got to do with ferrets?" you may ask. Ahhh! I'm not discussing leaves. Lester, our silvery white male got his new coat in on Tuesday and, while its now faded to a kind of muddy color, he was sporting this thing that is best described as a bushy carrot attached to his hind quarters. We do have our usual crop of leaf peepers also. "Grockles" for those of you who might be reading this in England. [Posted in FML issue 1719]
