"A Little too soon To start planning Ahead for the winter Because Summer is not over You would be a Fool To be planning for Winter now" - Aldo Kraas I found this poem called "A Little Too Soon," while idly browsing through the internet. Well, if your poetic self wants you to relax on a couch, Best of Luck, because winter is here and there's very little time before day turns to night! You might still tend to go out with half sleeves shirt of the closet from summer clothing, and would realize that there's no more sun. Kids are back to school and streets are empty.

As a young lad in the sixties, I grew up on a dirt road in rural northern Alabama. I was also fortunate enough to live one cotton field away from the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge and next to a Grandfather who scratched out a living farming 40 acres of cotton along with trapping and fishing to make ends meet. It was the trapping and fishing we did together and instilled an early appreciation of wildlife. One sunny day I saw a hawk circling over a nearby field. I eased along the field's edge and sat down to watch as nature was soon to take its course. Hidden in the tree line, I never knew if the hawk saw me. As I sat, there was a rustle in the grass. A rabbit, his eyes peering upward, focused on the hawk...
