The busy-ness of last week seriously hampered my posting time…which is not an entirely bad thing. Real life is always worth living in real time…not that the blog isn’t real, it just has to be shelved occasionally while memories are made.
This week’s view truly reflects the rapidly changing season. From deep greens and blues, to gold, russet and fire red hues…and finally, stark brown. Trees are stripped, the zinnias are dead, only a tuft or two of sweet alyssum have braved the hard freezes of the past few days. We’re in for the long haul…soon brown will give way to white and we will celebrate with all the childlike wonder and enthusiasm that even the most adult of us experience upon the season’s first snow.
Wishing you a happy start to the month of November. How’s the world from your window?
Blessings,
I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

Here in Northern California, the trees are just starting to turn colors and the kids got to wear shorts today (81 degrees!). It is gorgeous! I enjoyed your picture…it’s amazing how different a November day can be from one place to the next!
LOL Tamie! I am in Fresno and my kids are in shorts too! I can’t wait until it feels like Fall though. Seasons would be nice, but soon it will be gloomy and foggy. Ohio looks lovely. Can’t wait to see it in white Kimberly! Thanks for sharing, JEnnifer
Hi Kimberly~ I love porches. I wish we had one. Thank God for memory, at least I can sit on one in my mind from time to time. Lovely blog. I’ve started another so hope to maintain three, although my poetry one I rarely get to these days. Take care.
