miscellaneous

colder temperatures arrived in the last few days; chasing the hummingbirds away. the feeder remains hanging just in case.  however no hummers have been sighted since it got cold.

with the cold arriving and the hummingbirds heading south, it was time to bring in the houseplants that have been on the porch all summer.  also, the kitties' winter nest was assembled (consisting of the bench on the porch covered with an old comforter).  they can crawl under the blanket and stay quite snug.

leaves are not only turning colors but are already falling from the trees.  some trees are already bare.  that's what a drought and summer heat does to trees.

it's woolly worm season.  they seem to be everywhere.

the heron flew overhead yesterday and cast such a large shadow it was startling!  he glided from my lake, across the meadow to land at the neighbor's body of water for a visit there. wow!  it is always breathtaking to watch.
