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








This one is actually from late October ~ Elijah killed his first turkey ~ I heard it was quite tasty

This one is also from end of October ~ Shelby is on the high school swim team ~ we enjoyed watching her and her team mates swim laps for their fundraiser ~ she swam 42 laps in one hour

Fluffy tail ~ Did I just hear sunflower seeds being poured into the squirrel—I mean—bird feeders?







Seems like we’ve had more than our fair share of rain this month



Knox was so proud of his Angry Bird Christmas tree ornament from Santa’s Workshop

Knox also got a Minion ornament ~ Minions are his thing right now ~ those tiny cupcakes [also from Santa’s Workshop] were delicious

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.”
― Cynthia Rylant, In November



Thanksgiving group shot ~ when everyone realizes the camera is still clicking pictures

So thankful for my crazy wonderful family

Leftovers ~ Round Two ~ even better the day after
"Harvest home, harvest home!
We've plowed, we've sowed
We've reaped, we've mowed
And brought safe home
Every load."
