Red Berries And Snow

November comes

And November goes,

With the last red berries

And the first white snows.

With night coming early,

And dawn coming late,

And ice in the bucket

And frost at the gate.

The fires burn

And the kettles sing,

And earth sinks to rest

Until next spring.

    1. For a few hours it felt like it and this is another great song and the version by Johnny Mathis is a favorite.🙂

  3. Awesome stuff, it really is time now to zip up, go out and enjoy nature’s colder stuff, then return home and warm up again.

    1. Thank you!🙂 With the colder days, my morning cups of coffee have extended through the day, especially now that I bought my annual holiday chocolate coffee spoons.🙂
