Grateful for the Change of Seasons in November

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeStarr Realty RS143922A

November is a month to be grateful.  The weather and clocks have changed, and the leaves have changed colors and are falling.  It is my favorite time of year, and everything is so beautiful. I am grateful that I live in an area where the seasons change. I can see Mother Nature at its best. The colors are so vibrant I take a deep breath and am thankful to be alive .. I know that soon, all the beautiful colors will turn grey, but that is alright because, for now, I will enjoy them.

I love the clothes of Fall. It is not hot, and it is not cold, as Goldie Locks says in The Three Bears' Story; it is just right. Pants and a sweater with maybe a blazer. Perhaps you just want to wear jeans, a tee, and a jacket. Throw on a pair of sneakers or boots. Of course, a few think it is still summer and are still wearing sandals, but to each his own. Scarecrows, Mums, and Pumpkins are the decor.

The stovetops are cooking our favorite dishes. As we said, we are all taking time off to get ready for the Thanksgiving Holidays next week. What unique dishes are we cooking, or are we making reservations? Were we invited to family or friends . The smells of Thanksgiving cooking and the memories it brings of childhood family members and friends are with us, if only in spirit. Yes, This is my favorite Time of Year. I am so thankful for all I have. I am grateful to live where seasons change.

Hello Hannah, I miss the fall colors of Pa. and also the Northeastern states.  Still love winter also and spring and a cool summer.  LOL

Will Hamm I also love summer, but I tend to sit by the pool too much and soak in the sun  I get more work done in the fall

Hannah, your colors are much more vibrant, and someday will return in the Fall.   I wore sandals until first of November, as our weather was really nice.  Then 2 feet of snow.  Back into the 50's and 60's, so all good.

Joan Cox  My sandals get put away with my bathing suits. I have a great shoe and boot collection. We have been unseasonably warm in my humble opinion

We haven't had one flake of snow since my Michigan couple went home, pretty nice for this time of year.

After raking the leaves,  I do understand why they call it fall. One of the nice things about living in the northeast is the full appreciation of all the seasons.

Hi Hannah- we lived in Leesburg, VA for a few years and it was the first (and only) time I got to see a real FALL!   I loved the colors!!!

Hi,  Kathy Streib There is a time when it resembles a rainfall of colored leaves. It is so pretty.  It is magical

Autumn truly is a gorgeous time of year.  I am grateful for all the canning and freezing I did during the summer months.  I just put a log on the fire, and chill.

Myrl Jeffcoat  When I was a kid, my parents would freeze peaches, cherries, and, strawberries, as my dad loved having fresh fruit after dinner on top of ice cream. The Kitchen would be full of fresh fruit foe several weekends. I had forgotten all about it until you brought it to mind. Thank you

Hello Hannah - I felt a sense of steals and deals of the season in your November gratitude post. And it seems to fit quite nicely too.  

Nov 20, 2024 03:54 AM
Hannah Williams

This is a heads-up that the pollen has been blowing around, and my sinuses have been acting up. I finally gave in and made a trip to the doctor's, got some Medications, and was told to go to bed and rest. Michael Jacobs  my favorite store was on the way home so I stopped and picked up some steals and deals as I was going to have to wait for the meds anyway :)

Good morning, Hannah... I've lived in places without seasons, which is why when Chris and I decided to leave NY City we focused on Charlotte. I wanted to live where we had four seasons, but a short and sweet winter, which is what Charlotte has. This morning, I'm admiring the trees in front of my house whose leaves have turned red.

PS I'm one of those people who takes every opportunity to wear sandals... so even in January if the the temperatures are right for it, my sandals go on my feet!

Nov 20, 2024 04:52 AM
Hannah Williams

OMG, I am stunned  I took you for a shoe freak .  You let the cat out of the bag. I will say lately, the winters have been short here. Nina Hollander, Broker  many say that it is because of climate change . We will see . I do not agree . 

Nov 20, 2024 01:10 PM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Hannah Williams ha-ha, Hannah... one thing I am not is a shoe freak. I consider shopping for shoes a punishment. When I find shoes or sandals I like and that are comfortable I buy several pairs so I don't need to shop in future. Now, if you'd like to talk about handbags... that's a whole other story, my friend!

Kat Palmiotti  It is hot for this time of year. I usually have my heat on, but not this year. I am not sure I like it as I think it is a sign of a cold winter

Hi Hannah I love fall too!  Albeit in PHX I start celebrating fall earlier than most - inside our home that is!  And just the other day I realized I don't really have any 'fall clothes' per se.  I need to go shopping.....wanna come with!  LOL. 

And now, you won't believe it .....Gary just took out some Christmas decorations. Gorgeous evergreens and lights to dress up our high windows.  And little Norma is all over it this year......his first year being interested! Guess that means I'd better get off Ar for awhile and go help out.  I'll be back later to see more fall colors!

Nov 20, 2024 10:33 AM

Oh yes I want to come shopping with you let's go!  Anna "Banana" Kruchten nothing makes me feel better than going shopping. Especially for clothes and Home decor
