Trees without leaves
Good morning dear friends-- here's a prettier picture than meatballs in a frying pan! I look at this particular tree all the time, and it's a lovely thing in every season. We've having a nice stretch of cold, clear weather in the Northwest, a change from the November rain and gloom. Yesterday Sizzle was fluffy and glossy as a beaver, and ornery too! Horses get frisky in cold, dry weather.
We saw the sun going down at about 4:15 yesterday when I took this picture. Here's some full moon pictures from a Seattle blog this week:

When I poke around the Internet for blog quotes, sometimes I learn about famous people I knew nothing about. For example, this Krishnamurti person, who has an entire Krishnamurti Foundation dedicated to him. He was apparently a great teacher, who spent much of his life making wise statements:
"Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky? How beautiful it is? All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness there is a poem, there is a song. Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring. When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with the music of many leaves, which in due season fall and are blown away.
And this is the way of life."
Krishnamurti
