On Thanksgiving day, dinner often has turkey as the main course but these wild turkeys were safe from being the center of attention.
Happy Thanksgiving 2017

Watching the snowflakes falling this afternoon in below freezing temperatures had me wishing for something else white falling, like a waterfall on a warm spring day. This waterfall sometimes doesn’t even flow in the fall so I rather visit the Now and Then Falls in the spring or summer.

This bat was hanging around my porch in August, which in Wisconsin is the month they normally leave their summer roosts and start moving to their winter habitat by October. They may delay hibernation and remain active into November and December if the temperatures remain above 40 during the day. They are rather ugly looking but a single bat can eat thousands of insects every night so they can eat all the mosquitoes they want in my yard.

The temperature today may have climbed to the mid forties, but with the lack of sun and the previous cold days, it wasn’t enough to melt the ice off my pond. I didn’t see much activity at the pond, unlike summer days, so it was rather quiet without the frogs and dragonflies.

The inside of area churches seemed to have lower attendance this morning due to all the hunters out trying to get a deer. The outside of the churches would have a different look compared to summer too. The low sun angle doesn’t provide as much light, the ground was very firm with temperatures into the teens, and the leaves are missing from the trees.

The summertime deer, like this buck with alters still in velvet, get chased by me on the lawn mowing or when I am walking my path to the pond, but today the deer were chased by men wearing orange clothes in an attempt to shoot one during the opening day of deer hunting.

The lack of colorful flowers is another thing which makes the gray days of November seem that much more dreary. Hopefully the sun will make an appearance soon.

I am wishing for a warm, sunny pretty autumn day after another gray, cold colorless November day. An October walk through a forest viewing autumn colors would be more enjoyable than today’s scenery.

This little puppy is exploring and searching for something. I know I have been searching for some sunshine and warmer temperatures which seems to be lacking a lot this November.

The damp, misty day prevented some harvesting of crops today and since the sun was not out shining bright, this old barn might have provided some dry shelter for critters.
