Let's see if things are working better on the blog ...
Yesterday's post was all about calendar management.
Maybe you're glad it was lost lol.
Maybe it was a Halloween curse?
Welcome to NOVEMBER.
It's one of the best months of the year.
Hmmmm ... this has me wondering how the months rank?
I need to think about it ...
August (heat and kids are back to school in the south, summer garden dying off)
February (dull and limbo waiting for spring)
March (yellow pollen in south, but garden starts)
September (STILL summer in the south, but we want fall)
July (always hot and a long summer ahead)
June (only value is my birthday)
January (I like a fresh start after holidays)
May (can be way too much like summer temps but garden in full swing)
April (spring and yellow pollen ends, spring garden going and summer planted)
October (sometimes still too warm, but ends in fall)
December (holiday spirit)
November (not too warm, leaves, holiday spirit)
There you have it. Most of my ranking is based on weather haha. November DOES win (!!)
Life is better when the weather is lovely. It's just a fact.
Speaking of ... weather was amazing for a volunteer morning at the farm. I'd volunteer more, but it's backbreaking bending. My back hurt all day.
This guy surprised me ... Halloween is HIS day to creep around the peppers.

| Black cats are lucky on Halloween. |
The hike was easy and beautiful. My foot/ankle wasn't great, but no worse for the wear it seems. I hiked a couple of miles solo to test it out.
 |
| Favorite part of this hike. Nature arch. |
 |
| Hung a Halloween rock. I usually don't leave them in the woods but I did yesterday. No one noticed it. |
ZERO trick-or-treaters. Bummer. I don't expect any for years to come. Maybe when the street finishes construction ... IF kids move in ...
Painting rocks. This is finished and a few more in the works. Listened to the new album while I painted it.
(I won't go all in to Christmas music YET ... too early and then I'm tired of it by December. I made that mistake a couple of years ago.)
My new glasses. I guess they're fine. Bigger lenses for easier progressives. Made on a 3-D printer -- that's kind of cool. They're so lightweight.
Goodies from shopping with my aunt.
 |
| $5 Christmas album from Atlanta. It's really good. |
 |
| This will go in the bedroom once I redecorate. I absolutely love it. It's painted on a tile. |
 |
| Little Christmas decor. |
 |
| Tree in a cute planter for the front porch. |
 |
| Local pottery on left. Little mug on right. Both make me happy to use. |
I have a slow, but full day ahead. Walking to the farmers market and library and coffee shop this morning. Putzing around town on a crisp, sunny, NOVEMBER morning. What's better?!?
Then food prep for tomorrow's football. I'm making a Cobb salad to use some greens from the garden. Cobb is easy, but a lot of steps. I'll probably make cheesy bread too.
Hope you have a good Saturday and love November too. Later gators.
