Changing seasons

The season is changing again and we are getting to the point in life where there is no yardwork. The leaves are raked, the flowerbeds are put to rest, and for a short time it isn't snowing. I think most of marking time here is dependent on yardwork. 

 I wouldn't trade the changing of the seasons though. Putting on warm socks, turtlenecks, sweaters, and warm pants is comforting to me. 

 Don't let that be confused with how I feel when spring approaches. Then I can't wait to go barefoot, hang up the winter coats, and yes, even mow the lawn. 

This is the thankful month of life, this month of November. Look around and be thankful, it'll brighten the grey skies.
