Happenings As The Seasons Begin To Change

The  happenings  as the summer season is winding down here now and the next season of Fall/Autumn slowly creeps in . We have lots of rain today and chilly winds .

For the most part our summer birds have flown the coop per say and have headed south , our hummers are still hanging here fueling up with as much as they can handle before they take off soon on their journey .

                                                      Our fall birds have returned as others stay here all year .

One  early morning last week as the sun was rising  I was outside  as I usually am on sunny warm mornings and had a wonderful time watching the birds about the yard and was chatting away to them and taking their photos . Thank goodness the neighbor's cant hear me chatting to them or they may think I am bonkers lol ! I do talk to the animals though  .

                                           I am glad to see our nuthatch has returned , these little guys are so cute .

              We have quite a few Cardinals about both adults and Juvenile's like this on in the photo above  they stay all year .

                                            Our little Chickadees are back in full force to , such sweet little birds they are .

The fields are full of Goldenrod and wild Asters and are busy with all kinds of pollinators to buzzing about collecting as much as they can  .

These little wild daisy flowers are my fave with their pretty white  flowers ,pink and yellow centers all together . We have lots of them about the field to .

Whilst some plants in my gardens have come to an end and the few I have left are still in bloom the Goldfinch snack on the seeds of some of them.

                Our Blue Jays arrived a week ago and have been elusive to the feeders and yard  till now.

The only noise  we have had this past week is from the builders across the road from us that are putting in the footings and foundation for a house . All interesting and a bit exciting to watch , well for me it is lol ! I have met the owners of the soon to be house and they are a very nice retired couple who moved here to be closer to family that live in this valley village we call home . The house they are having built is called a modular home and it is put together in a factory and trucked piece by piece to the property and put together on the foundation . Modular homes come in very different types , colours , floor plans and styles and you can customize with the builders to and are becoming more and more popular down this way .

   Well that’s about it for me , in the coming days as the weather picks up again as  we are in for more summer like temps and sunshine I will be busy with the end of summer clean up in the gardens and yard and enjoying a campfire/ chiminea fire or two as well like we did over the weekend .

                                                                                            Until next time .
