Welcome November!

Welcome November!  I like October, I really do.  It ushers in fall & gets everyone excited for fall.  But November, you are my favorite month.  This graphic represents some of my favorite things about November!

1.  The colors - Here in the South, I feel like the first 2 weekends are usually prime weekends for seeing the fall colors on the trees.

2.  Hot chocolate - It is finally time for hot chocolate to be a consistent drink, along with some hot tea too.

3.  Festive cookies - This represents all things comfort foods & fun cooking for the holidays.

4.  Stepping on crunchy leaves - Yes, leaves eventually have to be raked (I guess??), but they are so pretty to see, even when they have fallen to the ground.

5.  Oversized sweaters - Bring on the oversized sweaters, legging and boots please.

6.  Scarves - I think I've worn a scarf the past 5 days in a row, so this trend will continue into November.  I am thankful for some I brought back with me from Colombia.

7.  Shopping for new fall clothes - I may pick up a few things here and there throughout the season, but I did some fall shopping during the Nordstrom sale in July.  It is a great month to shop for Christmas though, especially with Black Friday sales the week of Thanksgiving.

8.  Autumn sunsets - The colors of the sky are beautiful.  Thank you Lord for your beautiful creation!

And 2 bonus favorite things about November......

9.  Thanksgiving - Thanksgiving is a time of good holiday food and brings a reflection of thankfulness during the month.  Thanksgiving usually welcomes Christmas season with decorating, music, & of course, Hallmark movies continue!!

10.  Birthday - I have a birthday in November.  To be exact 11/11....Veteran's Day.  So that's another favorite about this month.

Take time to enjoy your favorites this month!
