Bittersweet Autumn

Howdee all,

Its beautiful this time of year…

The air turns crisp and the ground crunchy beneath your feet.

The colors on the trees are starting to fall to the ground….I love autumn…yesterday we had a leaf catching contest.

I caught 16 leaves..I won. Jeff caught two one handed…I use two hands..

Muther caught one. I don’t think dad tried but he enjoyed watching us twirl around and run after the spinning leaves.

We enjoy our walks….The birds are still migrating thru the area..We saw flocks of White-throated sparrows and Juncos.At the pond, Upland sandpipers, Green winged teal and Mallards…flocks of Brown headed cowbirds along the edges.Yeah, its that time of year again…moving time..We will start our journey south for the winter in a few weeks..To warmer climes. I look forward to the next phase in our journey.In the meantime, I am loving it here…I am soaking up the color..I am walking on crunchy leaves…and breathing the crisp, cold air.

It is Bittersweet, this time of year for us…

We leave our family soon..But look forward to new adventures..
