One of the few advantages of November days is that you don't have to get up very early to see the sun rise. Tomorrow we set the clocks back so it will be dark at 5 pm. Every year it's the same and every year I am surprised by how short the days get.
After some very rainy and cloudy days, the sun came out this afternoon. Quick get out for a walk!
There is still colour out there but you have to look a lot harder for it.
Some very red berries.
A stylish mushroom.
Tenacious fluff.
Sumacs against a rocky fence.
Beavers have been at work here. Two small stumps show up in the foreground and a larger tree on the left is half cut through. In the middle, a dark path indicates where they travel from the pond to the trees.
Distant poplars are a spot of colour in the distance.
The grass is still surprisingly green and this patch was just glowing in the sun.
We got the winter tires on the cars and the propane delivery man filled up the tank that supplies our heater so I guess we are all set for whatever comes our way. I don't mind winter if I don't have to go anywhere but snowy driving can be stressful. Hopefully, I won't have much of that to deal with.
I hope you have found your cozy sweaters and have some good books to read. Spring is just around the corner :)
It's odd, isn't it, that the darker nights take us so much by surprise each year. We changed our clocks last week and I'm still trying to get used to the darker evenings.
