Fall is progressing. We haven't had a frost yet. It used to be first frost was in September but it's been getting later into October before it comes. (Although last year's was back to mid-September). The annual Leaf Peeping celebration was moved out a week. Good thing it wasn't last weekend. This morning's constitutional I'm finally beginning to see color in the hills. The hummers left on a Thursday about three weeks ago - time to clean and put away those feeders. Instead currently have flickers and yellow-rumped warblers congregating around my place. Always fun to see them stop off here for awhile on their way north and again on their way south. Strangely the lilacs by the house are putting on even more blooms. I thought of going out to get another bouquet to replace the one I had in the house but the monarch butterflies migrating through are attracted to them. Guess I'd rather watch the butterflies than have the house smell like spring again.
