Signs Of Winter

Prompt: Lyn asked us how we can tell the signs of winter is coming. Ant hills being higher in July. A family of woodpeckers living in a tree. A white owl sighting. Ducks leaving. Birds leaving. I am writing about this today.

When the ducks and robins leave, you know winter is coming. Seeing wooly worms. They are a good sign of winter. Corn fields are no longer green. Flowers stop growing. You see less insects. Frost appears. It is getting cold. Hummingbirds leave. You get more rain. You get snow flurries. You don't see farmers out anymore in the fields. The air feels different. Squirrels are collecting nuts and acorns. The zoo closes and the pools close. It it stays at 40 Degrees and lower. You know winter is coming.
