Menopause… Mother Nature Style

November 5, 2015 By Gail Leave a Comment

Last week I was poetically whining about the slushy snowfall, and today we had a chance of breaking a Minnesota record by hitting 70 degrees three days in a row. In November.

Let’s see…hot, cold. Hot, cold. That sounds vaguely familiar to my hot flashes. Could it be that Mother Nature is in menopause? She’s certainly moody. And she does what she wants when she wants, so that fits too. Hmmm.

I decided to poke about the yard late this afternoon to see what was left of my garden. It is November, and in a typical year everything that had bloomed is usually a withered brown memory. Not today.

To my surprise, I found a few flowers not only blooming but defiantly pretty. I stopped watering my plants some time ago, so these babies are determined to be seen and respected. That is another trait in common with menopausal women. Watch out world! We are NOT going to go quietly into the night.

I’ll say it one more time just because I’m trying to wrap my head around it…it is NOVEMBER, and I still have flowers in my yard.

Here are photographs of the hardy little blossoms, hand-held camera, on a dark and windy afternoon. Need I say they are the best part of my day?

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.
