“In November, some birds move away and some birds stay. The air is full of good-byes and well-wishes.
The birds who are leaving look very serious. No silly spring chirping now. They have long journeys and must watch where they are going.
The staying birds are serious, too, for cold times lie ahead. Hard times. All berries will be treasures.”
