It is a sure sign that the leaves will soon all be on the ground and then I will have a better view of the birds as they wait their turn at the feeder. I will be able to see the nests from this past spring and summer and also better see the squirrel who does acrobatics at the various feeders in the yard. Thanks to the squirrel I have a volunteer walnut tree and numerous oak trees growing in the various planting beds. Yes, it is time to turn the water taps off and hunker down to wait for the first flakes of snow. Brrr. I am not ready.
