November Morning

Snowladye in the morning light.

This morning is dark and dreary.

The milky skies 

give little brightness,

but candeglow casts its warm light 

and a mug of hot tea

chases the chill away.

I am fast at work,

racing the light today

as it is upload day for Early Work Mercantile.

I took a moment to peek

out the kitchen window,

while I waited 

for  some clear coat to dry.

Not that long ago...

a week or so~
there were roses on my rosebush,

and morning glories 

were still in abundance;

such a pretty blue.

This morning however~

there are brown and orange leaves,

scattered on the still green lawn.

 The frost

has turned colorful 

blooms to a dark brown.

Above,

 on the stockade fencing,

oblivious

 to the sparrows and starlings

swirling about...

is a gray squirrel.

I have to chuckle as he is happily 

munching on his breakfast.

A good sized piece of pizza.

Booty from the garbage next door.

A squirrel's breakfast in the burbs.

I am reminded

that our world is what we make it.

I love surrounding myself

with dollhouses

and dollys in the making.

Candle glow on these

dreary November days...

Needle and thread.

The busy hands of a maker.

Early Works offerings 

tonight at 9 pm.
