This And That

I think I've finally managed to attract some mockingbirds to my yard. For nearly a month I've been hanging fruit (apples, oranges, etc.) from a tree in my yard. Last night I saw two large, white and black birds checking it out in the late afternoon. The days continue to shorten. The Saint James Art Fair is this weekend and next week is the New Albany Octoberfest usually a harbinger of rainy, dark, cool days. Mark and Patty called late last  night from Cincinnati. They were stuck there at the airport trying to get to New York. They couldn't land in Atlanta as planned because of the latest hurricane. They will be back this weekend for a couple of days so, we plan to attend the St. James Fair together.
