Nights are getting shorter and cooler. Days, well, it seems like summer is trying to stick with us, or at least trick us into thinking she is. That's ok, the cooler nights make up for it, and seeing the butterflies still coming to all the flowers still in bloom, makes it all right for now.
Time to get out to the orchards and pick up our apples. Used to be, we picked them ourselves. Now we just buy them in the baskets, and enjoy them anyway. This was a great peach year, and I am sure this is an equally great apple year. Driving out to the countryside along the Missouri River for the apples gives us a change to enjoy the leaves turning on the trees.
Hummingbirds have already left us for the south. Wild turkeys are gobbling in the woods, discussing where to hide for Thanksgiving. And soon the snows will fly!
