THE FLAVOR OF THE MONTH- NOVEMBER
If November were a color it would be brown. Perhaps, it is not quite so brown as March or early April, but it follows October like an ugly Sister, and looks all the browner for it. By comparison it cannot help but appear dreary, monochromatic and glum. The naked trees, the blackened leaves, and the cold, metallic water speak of an in-between place. November is in limbo between falling leaves and falling snow. Falling snow is preferable.

No, don't encourage it.
Have to say, I feel like I'm operating backwards through time, after two months in Vermont where the weather followed the normal cool, cooler, cold trajectory--back in Chicago we're having an unseasonably warm spell--NO FROST YET, and here it's nearly Thanksgiving. Feel like I'm watching the leaves change BACK. :) Fun, two falls.
Love the 'like an ugly sister' line--you're a good writer.
agree, though, with Sadie, let's not ask for snow, not yet, please?!
security word: tunghher.
Sounds Scandinavian.
