Today's Tuesday 4 asks questions about the month of November. Join me if you'd like.

| We're having a warmer fall than normal, but we're getting frosts most mornings now like we did this morning. |
1. Besides Thanksgiving is there anything about November you like/dislike? As for likes, November is the time of my wedding anniversary. I got married the day after Thanksgiving so there's a lot to celebrate at the end of the month. As for dislikes, we changed the time at the beginning of November this year and I don't like that it gets dark at 5 pm. That means it's harder to find time to do things outside and there's more night driving.
2. How is November weather where you live? Does it suit you? November weather is not great. It's colder with regular freezing, and when it rains, it's a cold rain that chills you to the bone. This month marks the final transition from fall to winter and I begin my winter hibernation under a fuzzy throw with a cat on my lap.
3. When do you plan for Thanksgiving? Eat home or out? Menu? This year, like last, Ward, Wally, Theo, and I will have a small celebration without extended family. The menu is still undecided. I think I'll have everyone pick an item for the menu and we'll go from there. While everyone enjoys the traditional Thanksgiving menu of turkey and dressing, no one is married to it. Ward may smoke some ribs.

What are your plans for this November?
Until next time...
I did these 😝 😝 😝 but copy paste made the font weird. Maybe a different way next time. These are therapeutic
ReplyDeleteIf you look, my page looks off but is not as noticeable as yours because my background is a light color. Blogger does weird things to font and spacing all of the time that can be aggravating, but, I'm happy to have the free service.
DeleteI might put up some Christmas lights today.
ReplyDeleteI think lights are one of the prettiest parts of Christmas.
DeleteUnlike you, I don't mind the time change. I hate commuting to work in the dark and the time change lessens the number of days I have to do it. Seems like both of us dislike night driving in the winter!
ReplyDeleteI don't start Christmas decorating until after Thanksgiving but we don't have a lot of outdoor decorations. It makes sense to do the outside stuff when the weather is more temperate.
We will also be having just the 4of us, mainly because of how far away my son is at college. I think it will work out to everyone's benefit in our extended family. Our area is currently having a covid surge and I think it's wiser to minimize who we get together with in the next few weeks, even though we're all vaccinated. I know several people who have gotten sick despite vaccinations. Most who have been ill have had a less serious case but why take chances?
I leave work most days after dark, but it is light when I go. It sounds like we have opposite schedules.
DeleteLuckily, we are not in a surge right now but maybe that's because our cold weather is behind yours. I hope not. I'm just happy that the mask mandate is off for now and I don't have to play mask police at work.
As far as Thanksgiving goes, it's just easier to celebrate at home this year for many reasons. Maybe next year, things will be more settled, but until then, we plan to enjoy a calm time at home.
I am headed west to visit the most beautiful girl in our world for Thanksgiving. It adds a new definition to thankful!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip. I know it's been a long time in coming.
DeleteHappy anniversary, later this month! I don't like the time change, either. The evenings get too dark too soon. November weather varies - some days, it is quite chilly, but, other days, we are in the high 70s, low 80s! We are planning to have a quiet Thanksgiving at home, my daughter and I; it'll be an improvement over last Thanksgiving when my daughter and I were in two different places by ourselves! Christmas plans include decorating the house sometime in mid December. I will deliver gifts to friends and family, but, I will not join them for a large family gathering. Too risky - too much Covid in my area!
ReplyDeleteSome day they will do away with the time change, however, right now they can't decide which one is the best. Just pick one, already! :)
DeleteAdvance Happy Anniversary. Keep safe always! XOXO
ReplyDeleteTHanks.
