The flu shot

This being the time to get flu shots, down we went to the local Pharmacy, where they were giving away free flu shots. We had expected a long line of people waiting their turn, but there was no one there but us. It was a painless procedure, and we have felt no side effects whatsoever, so it is nice to have it over for this year. They usually charge $25.00, so we don't know why it was free.
Today was a lovely, warm day and we enjoyed the ride down and back. The trees are turning red and yellow, and the river was a pretty blue. We saw many buzzard hawks sitting on wires, waiting for a road kill. Ugly as they are, they fill a useful function.
We think the hummingbirds have gone away. We watched the feeder all day, and saw none feeding at all. We were wondering when we should take down the feeder, and I think they have given us a hint. It will be stored away until next summer. Not much to write about today. Take care. Good Night.
