fall is definitely on the way. grandchildren have been returned home and school began yesterday. the leaves on several varieties of trees are already turning colors (in part from the drought, no doubt), it's getting darker earlier and earlier each evening, it's cooler at night. there's much to enjoy during fall so it is something to look forward to.
while watching the hummingbirds at the feeder this morning, i noticed that there was an interaction taking place that wasn't between the hummingbirds. a closer look revealed that a praying mantis was clinging to a stem of the vine close to where the feeder was hanging. the mantis and hummer were being curious and checking each other out. watching that was amazing to behold.
the house sure is quiet without the grandchildren running around enlivening the days. what i tell them when we part? parting is the opportunity to look forward to the next visit. i'm looking forward to the next visit.
