Fall is in the air

Yes, I know it is only August, but the morning fog and the different birds chirping in the morning, signal the start of the coming fall.  Even the smell of the air will tell you it is coming.  The early leaves are falling.  The night temps are in the 50's.  All too soon, the leaves will color up and need to be raked off the lawn.  The pool will need to be closed before they fall, which is a chore all to it's self.  We really get into a few word throwing contests when we do that.   Isn't togetherness great? 

There are birds that disappear on their flight south, which we have noticed they are gone.  Next will be the humming birds.  Oh how I love watching them at my feeders.  Can't wait for the squirrels to leave.  Yes, that is wishful thinking.  At least the chipmunks will hibernate.   The bears haven't really bothered us this year so Bob's feeder on the deck is still in one piece. 

Then we have the frogs!  Anyone know how to winterise frogs?  Yes, they are still here.  Need some in your yard?  Come and get them.  I just hope they all don't return to where they are born to breed!  Help!!
