I think pensive and melancholy thoughts more easily overtake us when the weather is dark and chilly. November in Kentucky does have the redeeming feature of many mild days even though daylight is brief.<br />I think its important to set ourselves some creative goals during these dull times--although surely we won't finish every project on the list.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31566611.post-29667947257009647752013-11-03T15:09:20.744-08:002013-11-03T15:09:20.744-08:00PS: I just read the first comment here -- when I...PS: I just read the first comment here -- when I read your post I remembered and thought about the first verse and the last line,but couldn't remember exactly how the last line tied in to it.

But definitely the month (in Northwest climates) needs some work to brighten it up.

I always begin to gather the ingredients for my Christmas baking (have just done my on line order, which I do each Sunday morning) and that gives me something to think about. Here November 24th is stir up Sunday, when we make our puddings - I always stick to that date.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31566611.post-50577451070729166762013-11-03T01:20:52.969-08:002013-11-03T01:20:52.969-08:00"November"
