Fledgling

This youngster was on my front porch,

being watched hungrily by my inside cat.

I moved him to the wood pile hoping his parents find him and show him the ropes.

Every year around Labor Day, the buckeye leaves are the first to show Fall color.

And the buckeye nuts are ripe.

Its fun for kids to collect them and see what's inside.

Sometimes there's one.

Sometimes two.

Or even triplets.

Put one in your pocket for luck!

Makin' Hay

The long hot summer is coming to an end.

The neighbors are hustling to get one last cutting of hay

before the rain moves in.
