Flowering Kale

Very few flowers are blooming in the chill of November. Alyssum and Johnny-jump-ups seem to enjoy the cool weather. The other spots of color in my garden are flowering kale, which will "bloom" until the snow stays on the ground.

How about you? Are you enjoying the cooler weather of aging? 

My hair has grown old. My eyes. My ears. My face. My bones. My whole body, really. Yet life goes on. I am out in the garden on a chilly day, letting the wind blow through me, and thankful to be alive.
