I'll miss my morning hummer

End of summer blues
Finches dining on thistle

This is truly the end of summer.  The Yellow Finch is losing its yellow, and our hummers are pudgy, fattened up for the trip to Mexico.  These guys (video) are regulars, and may be gone in the morning.  They'll be replaced with travelers from the north for a few weeks, then, poof.  Just think.  When we see them next, Sarah Palin will be vice-president.  Not far behind the hummers will come the  Juncos, returning from Canada.  We're all stocked up on millet for them.  When the election results are announced in November, I'm feeding them steak.

Monday is the first day of Autumn. My favorite Fall tune:

Old Tennessee
by Dan Fogelberg

End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the Winter
Yellows and grays paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when you're coming home
Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me winter was just 'round the bend
Somehow I just did not see it was coming
It took me by surprise again

And I hear you're in San Francisco
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
And her husband's way down in Georgia
And I'm still in old Tennessee...
Wishing you'd come home to me

Life here is easy I'm sure you recall
How it's so warm and breezy
In the summer and the fall
But winter's upon me
And I've got no heat here
And I miss your fire so sweet
Dear I miss your fire so sweet

He was a pretty damn good songwriter that didn't get as much credit as he deserved. Died way too soon too (prostate cancer at age 56). Scary.....
