And Then There Is November
On the way back from the coast this weekend, we were treated to November's finest. I have made it abundantly clear that October is not my favorite month of the year. I am not saying that November is my favorite (not by a long shot) but I sure do like it more than its slightly older sister. November's colors are more intense. November holds the promise of leaving the sharp, electrical heat and light of October behind and taking on the more muted light of late fall. I hate the shorter days but at least the light does not cut as much. And, tucked at the end of November, is that sweetest of holidays, the holiday that just can't seem to take on much of the commercial mantle. Sure, it's about food and that part does not impress me. But is also, in my book, about a pause in the days, a pause to appreciate and to be with what matters. And then there is the tumble into December but that is another post.

Yours is only the second post I've read this morning so far, but both have had the same beautiful pics of autumn colors. And I, too, was thinking of posting a similar picture. It's just one of those days, I guess, when the reality of the beauty around us strikes hard. A day to be truly grateful and count our blessings.
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed these photos--by November here (especially this year) pretty much all the color is gone--everything is brown and gray, the trees are bare and I am eagerly awaiting REAL snowfall to cover it all up.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! I want to get together with you and make chicken cacciatore. You don't have to cook-just be company. (You can make the salad.)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I don't know why but I have a thing for post and fence pictures. You took some great shots of those.
