It’s that time of year again: leaves are falling from the trees in a virtual rainbow of reds  oranges and yellows  the hummingbirds are sucking our feeders dry and tapping on our windows demanding refills every 4 hours in preparation for their annual Winter Migration  and the ‘gotta do before it rains’ projects that have been piling up all summer are suddenly assuming an atmosphere of extreme urgency as said rains could be here any week (though given the absence of the Annual Kitchen Ant Invasion portent  I’m willing to bet the wet will hold off a while)
