Moving On Into November

November…the days and nights are colder from just a few days ago.

 

Glenn finally started up the wood furnace for the season; smoke gently flows from the chimney. There is a new, yet familiar aroma in the air.

 

 

A few perennials put their energy into one last display, diminutive as it is, before giving in to the natural cycle; the seasonal ‘sleep’ as expected.

 

 

Buddy allows himself an afternoon nap smack dab in the crunchy, fallen leaves of my sugar maple. 

 

He has a great idea…but, I think I will do my napping in the warmth of the inside of my home.  I look out onto the changing horizon of the farm as I slowly doze off.

 

Sweet dreams!
