November has a chilly start

Backyard, October 31 as the sun gets low

October came to a stunning and windy close.

November's first day is equally stunning - I feel compelled to photograph the oaks as the sun illuminates them.

I did more winter preparations this morning - the last of the clay pots to pull out the spent plants and put away. I was surprised at the number of blossoms there were despite the cold we've had.
One pot that I decided to over winter has a fuschia blossom in it.I brought in garden ornaments also - my beautiful glass gazing ball and the clay fox that sits in the front garden. I made two trips to the leaf pile with the garden cart then took Deezel on a quick walk through the woods.

I photo'd November's entries today. There are several with  floating lettering. Others from scraps of paper are spontaneous. A few have stitching and fabrics.

 The  clear, calendar sticker is over  precut oak leaves I bought at All About Paper in Hampton.

November 1 is a busy entry with stamps for birds, sun, and a walk with Deezel. The bird of cut paper is from a commercial piece of scrapbooking paper. It was amazing to see, and hear the cedar waxwings so late. They must have been getting ready to go south for the winter.
