Beneath a veil of rain;
The night winds blows its folds aside,
Her face is full of pain.
The latest of her race, she takes
The Autumn's vacant throne:
She has but one short moon to live,
And she must live alone."
- Richard Henry Stoddard,
I enjoy November..within its starkness a transistion between fall and winter begin.
there is a silence that resenates within the starkness of chilly nights.. and shorter days..
nature begins to prepare to snuggle down in antisapation for a long winters sleep..
one can't help but to be thankful for that which has been given... and will be given again..
so with thankful hearts.. we bring in November.

Beautiful Hope - photos, poems, and words. I liken this time of year to the calendar dead zone - not much going on outside while we anticipate winter's arrival.
