This morning I woke around 6 but stayed cuddled up under my down comforter another twenty minutes or so listening to relaxing music on my iPhone.  Took a quick shower to loosen my shoulders then returned the two HB feeders and the seed feeder to the back porch. I can see the seasonal changes beginning as the raccoon waits patiently for me to turn out the lights each night so it sneak up the porch steps, jump up on the rail, and drink all the nectar from both feeders then empty the seed feeder.  During the summer only the seed feeder came in each evening but as animals change their diet getting their bodies ready and storing fats and sugars for the winter they are eating everything. Yesterday while weed whacking near the garage I found one of my white wine bottles on the ground.

It had to have been removed from the recycle bin and carried down back and around the side of the garage.  I have an alcoholic raccoon.While my breakfast porridge is cooking, I put little piles of sunflower seeds out for the chipmunk's breakfast. 

 

 After breakfast and after my morning duties and tasks are done I head to Konehetee Park for my two-mile walk before the temperature goes above 74 and humid. This morning I actually got out of the house fairly early to walk.  There were a lot of dog walkers this early.  Many are the ones I see each morning. On Labor Day morning there a lot of families with children, dog walkers and runners.  It's uplifting for me in the morning as most walkers smile and say "good morning." 

I've  had five hummingbirds for weeks now and figure some are travelers.  There is such a raucous at the feeders and so entertaining.  Cliff used to get the biggest charge watching them fight and battle over nectar.  I miss him when I sit out and watch the battling.

I don't proof much anymore.  Cliff was my proofreader so if something doesn't make sense,pretend you get it! heeheehee
