Happy November!


And then I blinked, and had lived in Minnesota for six months! Almost seven! Today I cast my first ballot as a Minnesotan! FYI: NO and NO.
Planned accomplishments for November: Write a novel, make some friends. Entertain my sister and niece, who will stay with me for four days.
Up next in December: learn to knit, finish another quilt block, and mail my Christmas presents on time.
Doot, doot doo….
This is a very dark place. In Florida, even in the winter, you don’t have very many of these days that are just gray all day. More often, either it is raining, or it is sunny. Very little in between. Also, the difference in daylight between summer and winter is not so vast as it is here. This will take some getting used to.
Still, my home is a cozy place, and when it is darker earlier, it is more fun to look into the windows of the bus. You see all the people in there, going home from work in the dark!
I am working from home these days, and have a prime window seat, spying on the comings and goings at the Dean’s Circle. I feel very fortunate to be here, with steaming tea and my little dog napping at my feet. I am just feeling such gratitude for my life right now.
