It isn't what it used to be, and I know it isn't easy. And I oo am worried about our nation, our world. But, we can seek solace in nature, and thank the good Lord for that! Your de-stressing time looks beautiful! LOVE all the wonderful shots. I'm so glad you got to get away for a while!

I always find that nature can make me forget all my problems and is the best way to "recharge the batteries".<br /><br />Its sad to see the summer visitors disappear but as you say so exciting to look for the winter species arriving :) I've been out recently looking for Winter Thrushes - Redwings and Fieldfares - no sign yet but they will appear soon :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-9682500831110291322012-10-18T21:22:44.509-07:002012-10-18T21:22:44.509-07:00Rosemary.

I do indeed work with teenagers and they are a great group of kids but there are simply too many of them now to help out. And it's overwhelming. So many need help but there's not enough of me to go around!

But something is happening. I begin a new decade of my life and while numbers of age don't really matter....I feel like the 40's are still young enough to change a career before it's too late. I'm a bit frightened by it all.<br /><br />As for the bird feeders! I have been noticing it as well. The bird seed has slowed down A LOT! I have two feeders in the yard. One is the big feeder and I fill it every 4 days. Over the summer it was once a day. My little side feeder is always emptied everyday....so it could be where you are placing it...or there are feral cats/hawk in the area which discourage the birds to visit. Woodpeckers and hummers aren't affected by this drama. But everyone else is:) It could be the season change. It's great to hear from you and I hope you are doing well.
