The Robins Are Back

Author: siggy

The robins are back.  Yesterday, we drove around town to see how many we could spot.  We saw three or four.  Today I saw two in the backyard at the same time.  They are back and spring is coming.  I had to strip down to my tee shirt discarding my undershirt.  It still was not that warm.  I tried driving into town with my windows down.  I had to put them up again.  It was almost time to dig out my shorts.  It was almost too warm in my long pants.  It is forecast to hit the seventies several times in the next ten days so I might have to dig up my shorts after all.

Summer feels like it is done.  September is in a few days.  It is wet and cold–the fringe of the hurricane Irene.  Central Pennsylvania did not get hit hard.  I realized I was cold in my shorts and tee shirt.  It was time to put long pants on as well as long sleeved shirts.  I won’t put away my shorts (away???) yet but it won’t be long until they are stored away for another year.  We still have some hummingbirds coming to our feeder but not as many.  Autumn is around the bend.
