Reflections on November

It is very clear that this Mr. Hood is no fan of the month of November:

November
Thomas Hood 

No sun - no moon! 
No morn - no noon - 
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day. 
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, 
No comfortable feel in any member - 
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, 
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! - 
November!

Wow, what a downer.
Pretty much nothing positive at all to say, eh?


Well personally, I am not ashamed to say that this guy typing away right now LOVES November!

Why?
oh..... a few reasons......

Thanksgiving

harvest wraps up

first snow (usually)

my birthday (always)

Veterans Day: opportunity for the USA to recognize what a true hero looks like

fall yard work

leaf raking

smell of leaves burning

Election Day (so all those negative ads can finally come to an end!)

collection of Christmas CDs comes out of the closet

Peanut Butter Lovers Month

Christmas decorations start to appear

Salvation Army bell-ringing season starts



That enough reasons there Mr. Hood?

Boo-ya!!

Out for now.....
