Passing Through

Finally finally finally -- the sun is OUT.  I took an incredible walk this morning, and discovered that the migrants are back, headed south this time.  In one tiny triangle of sunlit space where I had stopped to watch a noisy tufted titmouse,  it turned out that ruby-crowned kinglets, golden-crowned kinglets, white-throated sparrows, and white-breasted nuthatches had also stopped by.  One of the lakes was covered with geese, and most of the trees have reached their peak of color.  It's a great morning to live in the midwest.

Walked:  4 miles.

Beautiful scenery!  Is that wooden walk way through the woods one of the places in your area to walk??  Amazing!

Ah, yes...  The midwest, with its wealth of deciduous forests, is wonderful in the fall!  I DO miss that, some.  Lisa :-]
