END OF NOVEMBER ~ RANDOM PICTURE POSTCARDS

“November is usually such a disagreeable month...as if the year had suddenly found out that she was growing old and could do nothing but weep and fret over it. This year is growing old gracefully...just like a stately old lady who knows she can be charming even with gray hair and wrinkles. We've had lovely days and delicious twilights.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

He calls them “glubs”, just like his momma did at that age ~ so cute I can’t stand it

“In November, the trees are standing all sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are, spreading their arms like dancers. They know it is time to be still.”

"Harvest home, harvest home!
We've plowed, we've sowed
We've reaped, we've mowed
And brought safe home
Every load."

    1. "When I look into your eyes
      I can see a love restrained
      But darlin' when I hold you
      Don't you know I feel the same
      'Cause nothin' lasts forever
      And we both know hearts can change
      And it's hard to hold a candle
      In the cold November rain."
