It’s November.

As I watch the brilliant reds and oranges of fall fade outside my window, a distinctive monochrome emerges.

Crunchy acorns under my feet during a chilly afternoon walk…signal we’re halfway through Autumn. A hint of what’s to come.

There’s nothing quite like crackling river ice…to confirm the reality of winter.

As I try to wait patiently for the return of color next spring.
