Summer's last reach today, the temperatures got up to 80 degrees. But it didn't feel like it, there's just something still chilly about the air, like a foreshadowing. We're supposed to get a cold front moving through tonight causing rain and much cooler temps. Highs tomorrow only in the 60's, welcome Autumn!!
Nature Walk: Saw a Green Frog sitting down in the creek, new fall wildflowers all over - different kinds of Asters, Wooly Bear Caterpillars - mostly all strawberry red or rusty colored (I wonder why we've not seen any with black stripes on them?), lots of hickory nuts and acorns for the collecting.
Bird Notes: Our Dark-Eyed Juncos have returned!! Oh, happy day! The turkey family which through the warmer seasons stays abroad is now starting to frequent our backyard looking for food.

"Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God."
