If I took a selfie right now you’d see that I’m wearing my barn jacket over a hoodie. Real attractive, like a pale blob of Playdough. Or an albino bear. You’ll have to trust me on this ’cause I’m NOT gonna take that selfie. And if I did, I wouldn’t show it to anyone.
Did I mention I’m wearing this designer outfit indoors? Yep, sitting in on the sofa in the living room, dog by my side. One dog. The other is shunning me for the comfy chair.
Got a fire going in the woodstove and even tho it’s chilly outside, it’s actually quite warm in here. But I’m dressed for the wild winter because, well…because it’s THAT time of year… Daylight Savings Time.
The dark side of the calendar…November.
What can you expect from a month that STARTS by celebrating dead people. I mean, like on the very first day??? Besides face paint and partying, that is.
Come to think of it, that part, the party and dress up part, was pretty cool.
November really isn’t that bad. It’s got a bright side. Instead of salads I’m making soups. Got persimmons on the counter. And apples and pears. Winter squash. Root vegetables. Think cinnamon and ginger. And pots of beef stew.
Hand moves. Art Happens.

Short days, long nights…psssft. No problem.
I’ll just go in my studio and paint. Call me when it’s spring.
Your soup musings make my tummy happy and hungry
…..I so love these early evenings.
I know, right? It’s likely genetic.
This time of year spells relief for me
in sooooo many ways. Relief for my tired sore bones.
Feels like the cold wind calls me off to rest
and recover.
Hope your November is especially beautiful
and warm,
Jennifer

It’s definitely a time to snuggle in, isn’t it Jennifer. It’s also calling me to take the time on those long dark evenings and read for pleasure, lose myself in mysteries and intrigue instead of sitting at the computer all night. xo
Sounds good to me – stay warm within and keep the fires burning! Love the purple heart, by the way. 😉
The purple heart loves you right back, Bonnie. 🙂
