I changed my calender over this morning, like everyone else did and started to come to grips with it now being September. I came to the realization the Autumn is knocking on our doorstep. The first thing that comes to mind when September hits, is not that we here in the US celebrate Labor Day, the last big “hurrah” of the summer, but that it is time once again for my hummingbird feeders to get taken down and put away into storage for another year. It is really a sad time, I do enjoy very much, the little hovering friends that visit my feeder from about Mother’s Day in May through Labor Day.
I for one really enjoy the changing of the seasons, and look forward to the leaves changing color, and the geese flying south for the winter. Which brings me back to the little hummingbirds. How does something so small make it so far south. All I can do is hope that they have a safe journey to where ever they may go, and that I will be waiting here next year, feeder full…ready for their return.
