Falling Slowly...

Hello dear friends!  It seems like such a long time since I've posted or read many other blogs.  I've been away with friends for 2 ½ weeks traveling in MO, AK, LA, and the great state of TX.  I had an absolutely amazing time and I hope to be able to do a recap post for you soon.

But recently, I've been falling in love with November all over again!  

I got to see so many beautiful fall colors as we drove through the Ozarks in AK.

Crunchy leaves were all around me at the park in MO.

After a brisk and very cold walk around the Benedictine convent grounds in MO, a hot cup of peppermint tea was definitely in order.

I loved swinging on a swing much like the one pictured above on my friends' 4-acre property.  Once again, leaves were falling.  I loved how the crisp air brushed my face and chilled my cheeks as I swung.

A beautiful autumn Texas fog bid me farewell on the last morning of my stay.

And now that I'm home, I'm enjoying nice walks with the cool breeze and sunshine.  I'm also very much looking forward to THANKSGIVING!  What's your favorite thing about November?
