November creeps in softly here in the country, with a cool breath and silence. It doesn't matter whether the day is dark or sunny, November has an air of waiting that stills the senses. It's a between time . . . . between the pumpkin and night-dark fun of Halloween and the red and green, silver and gold utter joy and energy of the Thanksgiving/Christmas Seasons.
The fields are bare, the trees make spare, elegant lines in the sky, and the road side grasses spear up in Chanel shades of bleached ivory and ochre, and black. The evenings are filled with fog and mornings glitter with frost. How can one not love this take-a-breath month of classic colours, moody skies and silent fog .
People are out with their dogs, enjoying the bright days and crisp but not yet biting air. It's a great time for Dog Sports like tracking and the Retriever Trials. Late Autumn and the Sporting Dogs just go together.
Until next time,
