Before December 1st rolls around, I
thought I would finish up with my November. :o)
A few photos of our yard in Autumn.
I just noticed today that the purple
tree below has lost all of it's leaves.
The photos don't quite capture
the lighting and brightness
of the trees and shrubs.
Mid-November front porch.
Fall pansies on the front porch.
Pistachio tree out front.
A brave little fuchsia that toughed
out a cold snap in mid-November
and still bloomed. But then, of
course, I cut it to bring inside!
A little lamb off Old Lakeville Road
between Novato and Petaluma.
We stop every year on our way
home from Mike's parents either
after Thanksgiving and/or Christmas,
just in time to see these
darling new-born creatures.
We love the way they jump
and scuttle about. I think I have
mentioned before that when we
lived in Fortuna 15 years ago, our
neighbors had about 12 sheep and
one year I got to hold a newborn
lamb. One of the greatest thrills in
my life! Its little head felt like
a head of cauliflower and had a
waxy feel to it. I'll never forget
how it felt. I have a hard copy
photo somewhere.

A set of dark-headed twins,
probably born within a day of this pic.
One is sitting close to mommy's
rump and the other is about 3 feet
to the right of mommy's head.

New lambs with their mommies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will find new meaning
in every joy and sorrow.
In that silence I will hear
In that silence I will hear
the voice of Spirit, and
freed from this world I
will see another order where
the end is another beginning.
