Autumn

The leaves are starting to change colors here: some nice reds and yellows. Scissor-tailed flycatchers are still around. (They will be heading for Central America soon.) We aren't seeing very many Monarch butterflies this year on their flight to Mexico--although we have zinnias blooming for them. Every foggy day, I spot more wild turkeys on the drive to class. There were at least a dozen by the side of the road today. What a thrilling sight! Pray that I don't drive off the road watching birds.
