Hello November!

Ah, my favorite month has arrived! I love November. I love the way it smells. The leaves start breaking down, the trees change, the grass quits growing and I don't have to mow it! I love the way it gets cold. It's not too cold, just enough to make your nose run a little. When you come in from outside the end of your nose burns and gets stingy, and so do your fingers. You keep holding out and refusing to turn on the heat which means you gotta put on extra blankets and snuggle in at night. In the morning you feel all snuggly warm and as soon as you get up you realize how damn cold it really got last night when you sit down on that icy toilet seat. Woo! You have to actually use the scary heater thingy in your bathroom when you take a shower and it smells like burning cobwebs; which basically is what it is doing, burning all the cobwebs off from all year that have built up and you refused to climb up and clean off. Let's not forget Thanksgiving. Turkey, Pumpkin pie, fruit salad. Mmmmm. you are actually encourage to feast this month rather than fast. Fill up for the long winter. Ah, November...the last month before you wish it was next year. Happy November everyone!

I am mowing the yard for the last time this year on Sunday. I'm also going to plant some bulbs for the spring and mulch down my garden. I'm craving turkey.

I mowed mine yesterday. I gotta get bulbs still. I love tulips though. Sam's had 100 for like $10.00 or something crazy cheap. If I am lucky, they still do.

That was a beautiful prose! November is a month i am growing exceedingly fond of as each year goes by.
