A Chill in the Air and Color in the Trees

There's been a bit of a chill in the air the last week or so, a frequent thumping on the roof of pecans falling out of the tree in the yard, and a sense of frantic feasting radiating from the hummingbirds who frequent the feeders on my porch.  Autumn is here. One of my favorite

Online Resources for Home-bound #3

Hello again!  I hope this post finds everyone staying at home and safe.
