November

Never ever have I taken health for granted. These past seven months, with so much attention being given to covid-19, I have re-discovered how important it is to be healthy, to feel healthy, but also, that work has to be done in that area, in fact it has number ONE priority. 

All of a sudden my morning walks have become a habit and I know in the past I felt there was no time, because other things were much more important. Not anymore. It is such a joy to feel good enough to maintain the new routine introduced 7 months ago. The routine to work out in the morning and have that daily walk and discover, that my energy level is at a nice height.

Today I am going to share a couple of pictures from my daily walks the last couple of days. 

Let me start with the geese on a chimney top. I hope you can see them, they are very observant and do not like us to come much closer.

In the village I live in, a lot of old farmland has been replaced by modern buildings. In the middle of such an area an old chimney has been left. Why did they leave it there? Is it to remember the days gone by? Is it to make sure a couple of geese have a resting place on their way to find a suitable location to spend the winter?

Just looked it up. It is an old chimney used in the old days for combustion plants in greenhouse horticulture. Well, geese like it, because I notice them regularly.

We have been so lucky with the weather so far. This is the month of November. We have had mist and sunshine in the mornings and rain in the evenings. Many birds are singing their song and we feel blessed to be able to daily enjoy nature. In the woods the leaves are turning into red and golden. 

In our garden everything is coming to a standstill, the trees and plants  are getting ready for winter, directing their energy inwards, gathering strength to surprise us with their beauty once more when it is spring.

With love,

Juliet Joan
