"No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, November!" ,-)


Be like the sun and the meadow, which are not in the least concerned
about the coming winter."
~~George Bernard Shaw

"It is the glory and the worry of heavy laden boughs, the preparation of the pantry for winter. It is the bloom of the land, preserved."
~~Amy Machamer


And now comes November... I really like the above quotes, don't you? Much better than the old English saying...

"No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, November!"

^_^

Rather, let's think of sitting by the fire. And of warm stews simmering on the stove. And of twilight coming sooner, which brings a cozy feeling to a home. Close the drapes... Light some candles... Curl up in your favorite chair, with a comfy
throw or blanket over you... Kind of settle down into home and hearth.
