There Is A Slight Chill In The Air
Author: siggyThere is a slight chill in the air. I checked the weather forecast for the next six days and the temperature has dropped a few degrees. Labor Day is less than two weeks away. I know now that summer is on its way out.
There are other signs: the hummingbirds who regularly visit my feeder have dwindled. I think there is only one who regularly feeds on my nectar. I can tell this only by noticing how quickly my nectar for them is going down. The others must have started their long journey down south.
All of a sudden we no longer have to run the air conditioner in our office. Last night for the first time for months covering myself with a sheet was not enough. I had to get my blanket.
School is about to start. I may have bought my last watermelon for the season. The local peaches are almost gone. Fall is coming. And before I know it Thanksgiving will be here. After Halloween.
