Well the weather certainly has shifted from the heat that we bore all summer to a quite a chilly late summer. The days are shorter, the nights longer, and the mornings are chilly enough that you need a sleeve of sorts to keep you from getting too cold.
The leaves are beginning their journey to the earth and will return yet again in the spring. The Jays are squawking when they find seeds. I had the sunflower heads drying on the deck stairs and yesterday could hear two Jays cawwing in the back yard quite close to the house. I brought in the seed heads and the sounds stopped. I like putting them out in the snowy winter days and then watch them as the gather to enjoy this delightful winter snack on the snow as their dining table. Sometimes I smear natural peanut butter to go along with their seeds. Soon it will be time to put out the suet once again and refill the birdfeeder.
Pickles are made, tomatoes are too, pears are fine and we are too.
Take a fall walk and get out and witness the changes happening about us and enjoy the day.
