These November days…each one is a gift. Some days we wake up to mornings that are unseasonably warm with clear, vibrant, deep azure skies; other days are gray with the sound of rustling leaves and the soft tapping of rain on the roof. And while the garden has been put to bed for winter, now is also the time to plant garlic for next year. The cycle continues as one season slowly moves toward another; each with its own beauty and rewards. However; no matter the weather, as November brings us closer to the end of the year, we can sense a change, and find many reasons to pause and give thanks.
