November in Music and Pictures

by Julia Buckley



To get you in a proper mood for this lovely November day, I provide a musical backdrop and some recent pictures of fall.

Wander through my neighborhood and appreciate the sights while Simon and Garfunkel serenade you. :)















Happy November, Happy Fall, and Happy Daylight Savings!!

Great pictures, but not a single one of what truly marks the start of Fall for me -- Halloween outhouse tipping :-D

I thought those bats on the fence were leaves that had grown through from the other side! Funny!

Jerry, I've never tried that, haha. But then again, I'm not in an outhouse kind of neighborhood--I'm guessing you're way out in the country. :) (My grandparents do have an outhouse in their little place in the wilds of Michigan).

Lisa, they do look surprising at first, which is why I was drawn to them. :)

Beautiful, love the colours. Thanks for sharing.

Autumn is beautiful -- and sad and incredibly messy! I am always awestruck by the sheer number of leaves a single maple tree produces. I'm a summer person, so for me autumn is the season when the world I love shuts down and I begin counting the days until spring.

Sandra, I love autumn, including its sadness. Today is the first dark day after daylight savings, but it's also weirdly satisfying--I guess because each season has its place in the year.

H.L., I love the colors, too! The bright leaves against a gray sky--so moody.

We had a gorgeous sunny day here, with a cloudless blue sky -- the kind of day we rarely see in hot weather (when there's usually a humidity haze in the air). We have many of these days in autumn and winter, and I love them, regardless of how cold it may be.

You probably won't agree with this, but the weather isn't cold enough for me. We've been hovering in the 60s for two months, and some days even warmer, and my sense of fall is that it is COLD. I don't mind mild days, but then I feel it's somehow a sign that the temperatures are going up, not down.

Lovely photos! We went on our daylight savings time walk and celebrated the return of early evenings...

They are mighty early! It was dark by 4:30 today.
