How high in the trees are the hornets nest?
The more the black on a Woolly Bear worm?
The shape of a persimmon seed?
Folk tales or nature's warning signs? You'll have to decide for yourself. The only thing I know for sure is that winter approaches.
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
“Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours.”
Robert Byrne
