Wow, it’s November already. Here in Michigan, the signs of autumn’s arrival are unmistakable:
- I can see my breath in the morning when my husband and I ride our bikes to campus.
- I hauled out my warm, knee-high leather boots out from the midst of the “under-bed.”
- The trees are changing colors. I just love the brilliant displays of red, orange, and yellow.
- Leaves are EVERYWHERE. The front yard is covered with a layer of leaves a few inches thick. Our cars are almost buried (only a slight exaggeration). They are threatening to come in through the front door.
I’m happy that fall is here. I only hope is that it sticks around for awhile before winter comes. I’m not sure I’m ready for snow quite yet.
