NOVEMBER-TIME FOR CELEBRATION AND PLANNING

November-often considered the dark month as the sun continues to move away from the Northern Hemisphere. With the reving up for Christmas and the festive season ahead, it can be a time for planning and celebration. Our family has two birthdays and dinner parties to consider. Looking for the bright moments amidst the rainy days and nights. Today Novemember 1 is "All Saints Day" for some people. A new month always brings some anticipation of good times yet to come. Of course, the monthly bills must be addressed. Pulling out the winter garb and knowing where the boots are located for that first trek to work in them is a chore to be done. Knowing November is still Fall so the spring bulbs can still be planted. I actually have about 40 to put in a small garden that can be seen from my kitchen window- a new package as well as some misc ones that came with the Easter tulips and others that were mistakenly pulled when pruning the tulip leaves! The remainder of the leaves to be raked and placed on the gardens to protect the other bulbs hibernating under the earth. Of course, a good month to finish all that Christmas shopping. Mid-month after Remembrance Day, the Christmas lights will go up! The month is actually busier than most people give it credit. For many students, the mid-terms are probably happening. Today, just enjoying the aftermath of halloween and trying to decide who gets all the leftover candies! Welcome November and all the big and little joys it will bring! What do you feel about November? Is it just another month to you? Any plans? Any celebrations?
