My LINKcat AccountLast Sunday, the weather was absolutely autumnal. Dry air, a strong breeze, crystal blue skies, and highs in the seventy-degree range, all contributed to the feel that the season might be getting ready to shift gear - at least a little. The days are noticeably shorter and the dawn chorus has finished off (except for a very noisy cardinal who sings in the dark around 4:30 every morning which I would like to finish off) its annual singing engagement. Birds are flocking up, which means they're starting to practice maneuvers used during their migratory flights. The Summer Reading program has ended and the opportunity to redeem your dragon dollars for prizes ends this coming Saturday, August 11th. The concerts and movies in the park are finished. We all seem to be taking a little pause before starting to gear up for school activities and the Labor Day weekend. During these last few weeks of summer, there are plenty of good books to read. So pull out your hammock, put it under a shady tree, grab a nice tall glass of iced tea, lemonade, or other beverage of your choice, kick back and enjoy a good book!
