a few pleasures of November's company

Winter birds discovering the newly filled feeders,

leaves mulched and collected with the last of the mown grass gently tucked in around sleeping garden beds, 

blueberries cloaked with the gathered bounty of our pines' annual needle shedding,

bulbs planted in the rose bed, 

chicken house readied for winter, clean windows and all,

sunny, soft days to ease the outdoor businesses of each day.

Oh, and sunsets unlike any other time of year.
