The days are getting cooler, and the hummers have headed south. I'm anxious for snowflakes to photograph, but I'm going to miss the sweet birds I got to shoot through my bedroom window this year.
I'm going to miss the flowers. And the peppers! But I am planning to dig up a few of the pepper plants so I can try to keep them going indoors through the winter. I was able to enjoy homegrown sweet banana peppers on almost every salad for the last three months! And there are still enough left for a few more meals...
The birds, however, have not been too interested in my raised-bed gardens, thank heavens! Squirrels have been a nuisance and have robbed me of many tomatoes. But the birds have been sticking to the flowers, and it's been SO much fun to watch. I had no idea hummingbirds like sunflowers!
The goldfinches, I knew about. The hummers, though... what an amazing surprise! And this is exactly why I let sunflowers grow wild almost anywhere they come up!

Dusty words lying under carpets,
seldom heard, well must you keep your secrets
locked inside, hidden deep from view?
You can talk to me... (Stevie Nicks)
