Here it is. November.
I promise not to get glum.
However, historically, I have not liked November. I say this each year. I'm going to go out and find something I like in the landscape of November.
I have to look a bit harder, but I'm sure I can find beauty around me.
That is, until the period of time I can't go out for walks in any of my usual haunts for 10 days during the WI Deer Gun Season.
I don't want to complain, as the deer herd does need to be managed. But.....
November 22-30th is when the majority of the gun hunters are out. December 1-10th is the muzzleloader antlerless hunt.
December 11-14th is a special antlerless gun hunt.
December 24th through Jan 1 is another special antlerless Holiday Gun Hunt.
If that isn't enough, Bow Season lasts through January 4th.
Uffdah.
The 10 day season is the worst.
However, the folks that end up on the land east of me during the other seasons keep me on edge. They don't always know that a barbed wire fence means property lines. Go figure.
Sometimes I dislike living in such a rural area. However, there is till amazing beauty all around and this year I will have to make some special efforts to deal with it.
Below are a few of the last blast of some of the plants in our woods. Maybe not gorgeous like the full fall colors, but still interesting enough for me to stop and take a look.
I spent most of the day yesterday with another gal friend. We enjoyed an afternoon of fun things.
November also holds the promises of all sorts of Holiday Fairs and Craft Shows that I can visit. I'll have to keep busy. These are things I couldn't do for the past several years.
So even if November is the time of less color outside, a time of weather change, and more...darkness, I promise to find something fun to keep the spirits up.
Glorious sunrises always do help.
