Dancing in November

I saw these yellow flowers along a weedy hedgerow a few weeks ago.


What were they thinking - blooming so late in the year?  Didn't their plant genes tell them that the killing frost would be here soon - that they should hunker down?


Instead, they flaunted their delicate blossoms, richly colored, and laughed into the teeth of winter.

Bravo!!!


I have know people like this, who gave their all - even as the sun rapidly set on their span of days.  They donned their best gowns, and finest fabrics - and went to the ball!  They refused to be told that it was "too late" in the season for what they meant to do.

 I hope we all dare to dance in our Novembers.
