Autumn and Spring are the transition seasons, temperamental and transformative.
In past years, I’ve watched birds arrive for nesting on their sacrosanct schedule, whether driven by daylight hours or other clues. Some years, they arrive in Spring when weather is fine, start building nests, and then have to endure several days of cold rain or snow.
So it is with Autumn. In October this year, we endured a week of early winter with extreme cold air and several inches of snow.
But then we had this delightful first week in November! Sunny and warm until today.
