Goodbye October

Is it me, or did October fly by very quickly?  Now we are in November and headed towards Thanksgiving.  This year's Thanksgiving will be a tough one for many.  So many of us will be unable to spend this holiday with all of our loved ones.  And some have loved ones that will never again sit at a Thanksgiving table.  It's been a hard year.

Still, there is much to be thankful for.  

Along with shortening days, November has brought us some blustery weather.  It's short-lived, though, as temperatures are to reach the upper sixties by late week.  I will use that gift of warmer weather to complete my garden clean-up and winterization.

We enjoyed a lovely transition into November this past weekend... with a spectacular full moon in the space between months.  My favorite day of the year was yesterday... with an extra hour to put to good use.  For the life of me, I cannot tell you what I did with that hour - because it sped by without me taking note.

We had an exciting visitor at the farm this weekend.

An Evening Grosbeak appeared on one of the bird feeders.  Neither Hubbs nor I had ever seen this species of bird before, so it was quite an amazing sight to us.

The rest of the weekend highlights I put together in this video for you...


Here is a link to the video on YouTube, if it doesn't show above.

Happy November!!

Good morning and happy November.
I loved everything about today's post. I keep telling Doug..."I wish we lived on a lake, river, brook, stream". I love the water as much as I love to build a fire in the woodstove or the fire pit.
One lucky turkey to be lifted off the roost. That sure validates what a kind man Jack is.
As always, tfs. xoxox

I watched your video and thought, "Oh that landscape looks familiar!" I see that you are from central Pa. I am from Northwestern. We are in the process of reclaiming a neglected property for our retirement home. There is a real peace that comes from that.
I have been away from the computer for awhile and I was pleasantly surprised to see a video on my return. Glad to see everyone is okay. Happy November to you too. Hope your autumn is a good one.

I can sit on my couch and watch this gorgeous, orange, Blue Moon come peeking over the Eastern mesas and then just watch it climb higher and higher! Simply stunning!!
