November can be one of the HARDEST months in Vermont. The foliage has turned and fallen but the snow has yet to come and fill up the space the leaves have left behind. This year, we have had quite a few sunny November days which has been wonderful but as the temperature continues to drop we often have to remind ourselves what we like about November.
I was reminded of one thing as I looked out my bedroom window--
the way the skeletal branches are silhouetted against the wintery pink sunset over Lake Runnemede (right near the Inn). Windsor is beautiful ALL year round, even November.
What is something beautiful, comforting, unique or redeeming about November where you are?

I get to see that same sunset through my living room and bedroom windows! And, I love it.
I like the chill in the air and the way it feels like the earth is getting ready to hibernate.
...and THANKSGIVING of course!
Birthdays! It seems there are more November birthdays marked on my calendar than any other month. Birds of a feather, I suppose ...
Thanksgiving, football, family...
November is my all time favroite month for many reasons. In Houston it is the first sign of "chilly" weather that we usually get, It is my birthday month and the month that hosts Thanksgiving. Food, Football, and Family encompass what this month means to me. Your photos are stunning Chris. I miss Vermont when I see the Snapdragon Blog but I know I will be there soon, seeing it first hand.
I love the crisp mornings with apple cider and a sweatshirt before heading off to preschool with Syd-plus, it is the beginning of the greatest time of the year! P.S. we are planning a visit to the Snapdragon next August...I am already counting the days! :)
I love the excuse to do things inside - bake, decorate, maybe even clean for once. When it's sunny and nice, who wants to waste time on indoor traditions? But ahhh, November, bring on the drizzle and the chill and give me a warm blanket and a book.
All of these things sound so comforting! Thanks for sharing with us.
In the US I love the changing leaves, the smell of autumn, the excuse to light the fire and sit by it and do nothing, the attitude of gratitude floating around as everyone prepares for thanksgiving...
in NZ, I love the smell of summer coming! Amen.
In Central Oregon, November nights are clear and Orion is back in the sky. Here in the high desert, there is very little
that blocks the stars, not lights from a big city, or mist or clouds. With the longer nights, that just means more time to enjoy the night sky.
