Warm Days of November

The warm days of November are upon us, sun feels hot, no snow, not even any rain, no frost, I find myself looking for winter, as I walk in my Cottonwood woods at dusk I sense it in the branches bare, the early sunset and the chill in the air, and as I reflect on the passing of another day,  I don’t know why but it gets me thinking I’m getting older, that as the daylight fades along with the Fall season, so too are my years, the end of my time here is not so far away anymore, I do feel a bit sad about that, but mostly my walk leaves me wanting to enjoy the  time left and be glad for this life.
