November- Is it Fall or Winter

How quickly the seasons change. It was a very pleasant fall, though hectic at times.

Now, Winter has made a sudden appearance.

So, I have filled the feeders, brushed up on the difference between House and Purple Finches, and am getting ready to settle in for cold weather. 

Not. 

I'll be out and about, hiking, 

fishing (just to show that I'm not too old to fish in Winter), 

and generally enjoying Wild Wonderful West Virginia

Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something's time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings.
