"I got one!"

Dear Diary,

And dear little Tufted Titmouse.  I hope I am not premature putting out the bird feeder.  I'm not sure the bears have gone to den quite yet but I couldn't resist welcoming my feathered friends back to the Back Porch Café.  Auntie's tree is nearly bare of leaves.  We got a bit of needed rain yesterday and this morning the wind is blowing.  Autumn marches on.
