Late November Musing


"November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring."
~Elizabeth Coatsworth


The time has come to say goodbye to November, and with it goes fall.  Winter is upon our doorstep, and the enchantment of the magical season awaits.  I'm ready...

Til next time,
Theresa

I'm so ready too! We've got the tree up and decorations here and there... and this week we're expecting our first really good snowfall, so that is very exciting.

Bright blessings,

I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to November, fondly my birth month, but I guess it must happen. So gently it goes, here in Florida...maybe a few more langouring days? =) Kathryn

A beautiful time of year indeed. Christmas decorations were brought out of storage this past weekend with carols in the background.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie

Wait, you got a Fall?!?! We seem to have skipped it! Where did our 50's go... The 30's just moved in and froze us out! LOL! Although Winter is my favorite, I would have loved to settle into it a little slower than this! ;oD Love the Coatsworth poem, it's perfect!

Getting there....finally :)
The weather can't make up its mind here...cool, hot, cool, warm...
Maggie still wears sandals to school!

Such a cozy poem! I think I am ready to face Winter..that is, until the first (or should I say) second snowstorm!

Beautiful poem and photograph, although I'm afraid I don't feel the same sentiment of winter. A good snow is nice and then I'm ready for spring and summer again!

Love this! Although I have to say, it doesn't get too cold here in Florida....I really do miss the northeast fall weather.

Happiness and Abundance to ALL!
