The squirrels were busy eating the seeds out of my late sunflowers and since it was above freezing, they also resume digging holes in my lawn to bury their cache.

Although most of the trees are bare, and the few trees with leaves yet are not very colorful, sunsets can provide some autumn looking colors even if the weather feels more like winter.

A decade after what started out as Armistice Day, remembering the armistice agreement ending World War I, Congress made it an official holiday dedicated to world peace. Since World War I didn’t end all wars, President Eisenhower signed a bill changing the name of Armistice Day to the more inclusive Veterans Day, a holiday to thank all who had served the United States of America. And so on this 11th day in November, we say thanks to all the men and women who have served to protect our country.

With temperatures feeling more like January than November, this cat was smart to view the outside activities from inside a building with a window blocking the chilly wind.

The tools of the past are interesting to look at, but today the most important item is the pile of wood next to the barn wall and hopefully a fireplace or furnace to make use of the wood on this cold day which has temperatures feeling more like January than November.

A week worth of time and wind can change the appearance of my lawn. Most of the pretty red leaves from the burning bush are now covering the ground leaving just a scattering of leaves on the bush.

The sun finally made an appearance although the temperatures are still below the average but at least it feels better than the gray days. There isn’t many flowers remaining after a string of below freezing nights and the wind have left very few milkweed pod with seeds since most have taken flight.

Before the ground freezes up, one task is to clean up anything off the ground which might be frozen into the mud until spring. So it is a good time to get the scrap metal hauled off and this truck load looks like it has a metal robot sitting down.

The low temperatures overnight will be chilly again and lately the mornings have started out white; either from snow or frost. With a long stretch of below average temperatures makes the arrival of winter seem too early.

This kitten must have heard it was going to get an extra hour of sleep tonight and didn’t want to miss out on it and started getting ready for the long nap early in the afternoon.
