sunny days are shorter and hold a chill from the cold of the night before. A couple of large hoot owls have decided to make their midnight lookout post on a large crooked mesquite tree that stands outside of our bedroom window. I hear their hooting through the wee hours and they sound as if they are in conversation with each other. One has a distinct deep and low hoot and the other has a light airy hoot.
There is still so much that is a vibrant green all along the grounds even though it is late November.
There is an abundance of red berries on the wild bushes this year
The Turkey Pear cactus is at its best in vibrant red and green.
The porch plants are now tucked away into the greenhouse to wait the winter through
and there is not much to do outside on these short chilly days.
Much of my time is spent cooking, cleaning, or stitching the hours away. There is always something that needs to be done inside. I hope this finds that you all have had a blessed Thanksgiving day and are looking forward to a happy Christmas season ahead.
