Something Astounding

Yes, I am still not well, but I made it into the Ag Hall today for my Friday commitment. 

I love going there. 

Judy and I decorated out in front a little, and then I walked right past it and forgot to take a picture!  I'll try to get by there over the weekend with more decorations. 

I saw something truly astounding tonight.  It won't mean a lot to you reading this post, but 

I will never forget it.  

Turkey vultures migrate. 

Before heading out, they form a kettle.  Yesterday, I saw many vultures in the distance on my way home from the farm. 

Tonight... I was astounded, simply astounded. 

It had been storming all day, and was about to storm again. 

Some were low... some were high...

Over to the west, I could see ten or twelve more... you can barely see them in this picture. 

I got back in the car and drove a half mile down the road...

and jumped out again, because there was another stream above me.  

My guess is that there were more than one hundred vultures. 

I'm sorry the pictures were so faint, but they were high up for the most part. 

I am still seeing hummingbirds at my feeders near the deck... that is also astounding me, as it is September 18. 

I'll never, ever forget this sight!
