closing out november ~ 1 of 2

It has been a month. Full of ups and downs. Mostly ups, I focus on those.

I love November! When I was a kid it meant the start of Winter, and we had SNOW. Lot's of snow. I love snow! These days, November is a rollercoaster transitional month. It prepares us for what is yet to come. It is a bit of a tease. We have a high of 53F predicted this week. By then it will be December. I find it odd, but you can bet I will thoroughly enjoy the warmer weather!!

Some years November brings flurries, other years it brings:

you want to start wearing a hat

"big-n-little"

natures compositions become less vibrant


Leo says the colors are still here
just different shades

wood needs to be split and stacked



clouds turn into powder puffs that almost touch the treetops
(back of the arena)

some of our oaks turned a beautiful shade of red
first time since 2016


I marked some of the smaller red oaks
for saving/relocating

I look forward to working on the paths and tree lines, some day


warm air meets cool ground, producing beautiful morning fog

overnight some type of tree in our woods drops all it's green leaves
(might be a Hackberry?)

horses coming in

November produces amazing colorful skies

Remi needs breaks too

Apparently Cierra drew the short straw

Koda, Cierra, Harmony and Nemo, all facing different directions

walked past the window 2 minutes later, the herd was snoozing closer

my Golden Nugget turned a fluorescent salmon color

I hope it makes it through the Winter!!

stumps glow in the sunlight

gardening season is over
I am ready for a break

love the sound of crunching leaves

Tank waiting with his ball


the season of many branches

sooo many long branches

tiny things continue growing in the woods

Too many November photo's, so I split my post into two.
Second half to come.

Make it a good one!!
