In reading poetry about November, one would think that the world is in an apocalyptic state during this time of year! All the talk about it being somber and dreary – how depressing! I don’t believe that November is either of those things.
"Even if something is left undone,
everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."
- Elizabeth Lawrence
Early November is often beautiful and golden, and then the days slowly give way to the crisp coolness that ushers in winter.
There is excitement in the air at the thought of gathering with friends and family. There is food – oh, MY…there is definitely food!
November is a month in which many of us turn our focus onto thankfulness. We become more aware of our blessings, and very often feel led to reach out and bless others. In this spirit, I am going to embark on my first “series” of sorts. Throughout the month, I will post about “Things November”. You may find a variety of things including interesting tidbits of history and trivia, thoughts on thankfulness and blessings, and maybe even a recipe or two.
I hope you will join me on this journey and share with me your own thoughts. So, until we meet here again tomorrow, dear friends, I wish you love and happiness.

Popped in from Lady Bloggers! Gorgeous prose!
Thank you so much for dropping by! I hope you will come back often and share your thoughts with me!
Dropping by from LBS. I always thought it was October that I loved, but I was mistaken. It's really November. In the south, it pretty much feels like summer until now when things finally start cooling down. The leaves turn, the frost comes, the leaves fall, the sun just seems more golden. It's beautiful. :)
Hey Lauren, I know *exactly* what you mean! I used to get excited starting in August because of all the back-to-school stuff and the end of summer, but yes...here in Texas summer is forEVER...lol. Then I discovered November, and fell in love! Thank you so much for stopping by...it really means a lot to me that you took time to read and comment. Hope to see you back here again soon!
