November 6 a still day

It is interesting to me that the woodpeckers come to the suet hangers near my living room window as I work at the computer. It has a calming effect upon me. Then there is the last sunflower whose petals were curled up and that wasn't going to be able to open before the north wind blew and brought the frost and freeze with her.

I brought the sunflower in and now she is opening the last of her beautiful petals before she says her fond goodbye. She came to show us her beauty first. I kissed her.
