Autumnal

Cool this morning, windy, bright.  Am not sure when bicycle will happen.  If I can get in another 28 miles somewhere, I will reach 1200 for the year.  That's a theoretical 1200, since some miles passed under bike tires unmetered by odometer.  Need another 50 to have that number show on the dial...

Which, as I have kvetched before, lags my annual target by 200-300 miles.

Meanwhile, the squirrels are playing chase on some dried corn stalks the neighbors put up for Hallow'een decorations.  We had a mixed flock of juncos and white-throated sparrows boinking around in the yard while I was getting and eating breakfast, with added chickadees hanging around wondering if the strangers would turn up anything interesting.  Migration time advances -- the flycatchers and most warblers have already left, as have the hummingbirds.
