Autumn Brings Blaze of Color
And Activity in Animal Kingdom
by PEGGY EDWARDS
\nother summer has faded
awav over the horizon and Aut
umn weather waits impatiently
to make its debut.
October is ushering in the sea
son with sporadic puffs of cool
wind; already the trees are don
ning their gala autumn colors.
They stand majestic in red,
orange, gold, yellow and bronze
attire.
Squirrels scamper about under
neath the trees, stuffing their
little jaws full of hickory nuts,
pecans, acorns and chestnuts.
Then they race away to store
their goodies for the winter.
A family of quail go strutting
along in single file with heads
held high. When taken by sur
prise, they begin taking little
running steps and hob their heads
faster and faster until they very
gracefully rise from the earth
and sail up into the trees.
Birddogs raise their heads and
sniff the brisk air. They can
hardly wait to race through the
woods, searching for the birds
they KNOW are there. When
they find a covey of birds, their
heads go up, tails are held rigid,
they lift a foot and
FREEZE! Whenever Lady, our
Irish Setter, sees James with a
gun, she goes wild. James will
say “Lady, would you like to go
hunting?” Lady’s ears stand up
about two inches, she starts bark
ing and dashes off ahead of
James. She turns her head and
looks back to see if he is follow
ing. With amber eyes glowing
and shaggy red tail waving, she

An Equal Opportunity Employer
prances around with a look that
says “Well, what are you waiting
for? Come on—let’s HUNT
BIRDS!!”
Everywhere the voices of the
hounds trailing rabbits can be
heard. At first it is a deep, long,
mournful cry; then as they get
closer and closer to the rabbit
the cries become shrill, short
yaps. A nound in hot pursuit of
a rabbit must find it difficult to
contain his excitement.
The cool October days drift
along. Long thin gray curls of
smoke can be seen spiraling up
ward from the chimneys. Inside,
fires are cozy and cheerful, the
wood crackles and the orange
flames wrap around the logs;
then they dance up and down,
around and around and finally
leap up the chimney.
Cats curl up on the hearth in
little round fluffy balls, or sit
up straight, tall and immobile,
gazing with hypnotic stare into
the dancing flames.
Cool, fresh October air—a
time for football, hayrides,
wiener roasts, camping out, fairs,
carnivals, roasting marshmallows
around a campfire.
And all around, the trees, birds
and animals rustle and chirp, hop
and scamper for one more brief
moment; then sigh gently and
settle down as Mother Nature
covers all with a white mantle for
a long winters’ sleqp.
