If Mother Nature’s 12-month year could be packaged into a box of crayons, November would be the still-sharp one when I’d worn down the rest of the colors. First to be crayoned in would be the soft shades of green and pastel floral shades of awakening springtime. Then we’d turn to the bright deep greens of summer lawns, dotted with Vermillion, scarlet, neon pink, magenta, glow grange and sunshine yellows of hot-weather flowers. Early fall would have us pick ing up the hues of gold, rust and red-orange. And down to a nub of colored wax would be the selec tions of blues, grays and ivory from crayoning the constantly changing shades of the sky and clouds. oic3ii on WE DO SOS WORK - ALL TYPES OF POURED WALLS • Retaining Walls • Bunker Silos • Manure Pits (circular or rectangular) • Slatted Floor Deep Pits • Footers • Flatwork CONTACT STEVE PETERSHEIM, JR.

Soggy, dead leaves. Or the manure tracks dotting my kitchen floor. Again. But driving home through the countryside on a recent drop-dead gorgeous, early-November after noon, I suddenly realized that what seems in a quick glance as drab brownness of late fall scenery isn’t. It’s a whole sepa rate, sort of subsidiary crayon box of more gentle shades, beautiful in its own way. Just ahead along the road, in a lush green pasture framed with white fence, grazed three chest nut-colored horses. It would be impossible to see the glistening, chestnut-colored coats of these LANCO CONCRETE WALLS graceful animals and not appreci ate the beauty in that particular shade and in that lovely setting. Beyond the horse pasture on the horizon stretched a “brown” woods. Except it wasn’t. Tree trunks were charcoal, silvery gray and black, mingled among oak stands holding lingering leaves in shades of mahogany. Poking through the woodlot were fading accents of gold and yellow. Harvest equipment lumbered through “brown” fields of corn and soybeans. Which aren’trßipe stands of field corn turn the color of khaki or warm beige.

Sumac bushes and briar patches fade from life into a dark maroon color. Weedy flow ers in their last days hold airy, . gray-white dried blooms above beige stems. But there are some honest-to goodness browns of November. Like the deep color of chestnuts, smooth and shiny like polished mahogany.
