Or two or three.  September has become full-fledged autumn weather.  Yesterday, it rained a bit and the wind picked up.  Last night the wind picked up more, it rained more; the power has gone out 2 times since yesterday, but back on again.  And I'm doing everything I can think of now before it goes out again.  I actually love this kind of weather, but my bones ache with old injuries that should not be there now.  I'm glad I got the chicken's cage protected before this kind of weather started.  She's doing well, but all the critters are looking at me with a sad, knowing look on their faces.  But as soon as I put out sunflower seed and suet, the birds come swooping in, undeterred by any kind of weather. 

This kind of weather puts us in mind of gathering and cutting up firewood, which we will do as soon as it stops blowing and raining.
