Even though we're still experiencing hot summer weather, nature is showing definitive signs that the seasonal wheel is slowly tilting towards autumn. The flowers of summer are losing their luster, leaves are just starting to turn color, and hummingbirds are stocking up for their long migration to warmer climates for the cooler months ahead. Replacing the sparkle of fireflies in the night sky is a hum arising from a chorus of katydids, crickets, and locusts. They'll add their music to the night until the first frost.
