There in the Naked and Bare Branches of the Pear Tree —-Wednesday, November 15, 2023

I was raking leaves, sticks, and other debris when I looked up

And saw (hanging very securely) in the swaying limbs of my Thankful tree

A wasp home—I left it there.  Letting the pear tree soothe the little wasps to sleep for the winter—-waiting warm and snug; until the scent of green leaves and tree bark awaken these small creatures for another busy year.
