It's still warm in Tennessee--- they'll be around here for a little while yet. We had several this year. Last year was the first time I put up a feeder, and it took awhile for the birds to find it. This year, we had visitors the first day we put it out.

I'm also bummed that it's the end of blueberry season. Oh, sure, I can buy a half-pint of sour berries for $3. Back a month ago I could get TWO pints of fat, sweet berries for that.

But that gives me something to look forward to for next year. While I mourn the passing of summer, I also look forward to the arrival of fall. :-)
