And November sad,—a psalm
Tender, trustful, full of balm…
~Caroline May
November is usually such a disagreeable month…as if the year had suddenly found out that she was growing old and could do nothing but weep and fret over it. This year it is growing old gracefully…just like a stately old lady who knows she can be charming even with gray hair and wrinkles. We’ve had lovely days and delicious twilights. ~Lucy Maud Montgomery
The glory of the young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old. ~Proverbs 20:29 ✝

Nicely put together with acorns and flowers to decorate the message, Natalie. I turned 60 last Sunday and your posts have been such beautiful gifts. ♡

Nice acorns, tinged with blue, like hair with blue highlights.

Thanks, JoAnna. I thought they were lovely too and I love the way you tied it in to hair since that’s the way Montgomery described the November we are having here too. Hugs, N 🙂 ❤

What a lovely way to describe the month. I think she’s giving up the idea of growing old gracefully though. We are starting to get a lot of really cold days now.

I thought it was too, V. Ours sure has been like that but it will be coming to an end soon and yours already has for the most part. Hugs, N 🙂 ❤

beautiful acorns!! I usually love November—sans birthdays–I think because it has always seemed like quintessential Autumn—but this year is different—maybe it’s the excessive rain and grey, maybe it’s the warmer than usual weather, maybe it was Paris—or just the world in general–but this November has not been November—but onward and upward we go 🙂

Other than the world events that have marred it, ours has been pretty much like Montgomery described it and it usually is here. We are going down into the low 30’s Sunday night and Monday night they say so it is coming to an end pretty soon it seems. As you say, upward and onward we go.
I’m sorry your November hasn’t been all that great. Hugs and love, N 🙂 ❤
