       November is here finally, I am glad for several reasons.  One, the election will be over and things will attempt to settle in the political world.  It will be traumatic for a time; no matter who wins, i am sure. 

       One of the other reasons i am glad…is that it is the first of November and it was near 60 degrees in Michigan and, it will remain in the 60’s during the day for most of the week…Yeah!  That is cool…often by October 31st we have seen our first signs of snowy weather; not this year, that is a blessing.  November begins the holiday season and kicks off spending family time together. 

        But, my November cheer just took a slight turn when i remembered how many days till December; not enough, and by December…we will definately have snow.  In the meantime, I have spent two days raking leaves…with many more days of raking to go.  There are still alot of leaves hanging onto the trees; and, i dont want to go out and rake them when the temperatures drop into the 30’s.   So, come on winds…knock them down so that i can rake in sunshine & warmth with a smile on my face…saying-how lovely fall is!

       This December has been the most extreme weather we have had in quite some time.  Between rain, sleet, snow, slush and thaw…it has been quite a slide show.

       Today the sun is shinning and green grass is showing in little peek-a-boo spots.  For the last week…we have had blizzards twice and freezing rain…and a variety of other weather patterns.  But, i must admit…seeing the sun showing it sunny face is a definate mood lifter.

        My son asked if it was Spring today.  Sadly, no it is not…but…still…it is a nice thought.
