From My WindowIssue Date: October 17, 2019Jane Thibodeau Martin The Gift of the Birds
Recently I enjoyed three days where it seemed that someone was directing the birds to gift me with a special display of their beauty and diversity.
It started with the unusual sight of two sand hill cranes ambling down our gravel road. They were close to our driveway entrance, and may have just exited the soybean field close by. They noticed my car approaching immediately, and prepared to depart. I didn't want to scare them away so I slowed down, knowing I'd be turning into our driveway momentarily...

I think I have good eyes, so I don't understand how in the world I miss seeing them, but I do.

The beautiful golden days of Autumn are finally here. The Sun delivered them! Trees are putting on their Fall attire, decking themselves mostly in gold this year. Scarlet seems to be lagging behind, but perhaps that too will come. Lots of trees that haven't already stripped down for the winter still have plenty of green leaves that could still be transformed into wonderful fall foliage. Hope so.
Can't wait to take a ride through the county forest and its wonderful golden cathedral roads - mainly C...
