I haven't forgotten y'all. Things have been slow and uneventful. The usual birds are here, the who-who birdies, sparrows and finches. The Eurasian Doves have become regular visitor. Today the quail stopped by for a while too. We're still having a few hummers come over for the sweet water and expect they will move on in the next 3 or 4 weeks.
A little brown mouse has moved into the rocks by Joe's Station. He is a cute little guy and hides in the rocks and sneaks out to grab seeds in the morning. If he behaves and stays in the rocks he will live a long and happy life. I don't look forward to his family and friends moving in. So far it appears it's just this one little guy.... sure.
Fall actually arrives tomorrow, Tuesday, afternoon. So today is the last WHOLE day of summer. Autumn is the "proper" name for fall and it occurs when the tilt of the earth is such that the sun is directly over the equator. If you were living in Australia winter would be giving way to spring as the southern hemisphere of Gods green earth is our opposite.
This season change is being greeted by an invigorating low temperature forecast for tomorrow morning of 37 degrees Fahrenheit. I saw on the news this evening that there was snow in the mountains and south of Denver. I'm not worried about any freezing yet and it will be a while before I have to prepare for freezing temperatures.
Life's a song my friends.... sing it!
