November!

This quiet grey sometimes rainy (sometimes snowy) is one month I have learned to like.  How could you not see the beauty in the softness of the skies and the quietness of November?

November is a reflective month.  We prepare for Christmas by shopping early, thinking of each present the other would truly delight in.  We collectively reflect on Remembrance Day, about the losses others have had for our present day.

Even at the library my boss has been reflecting on the fall programs and wondering how to tweek the menu them to better serve everyone.   It is always a juggle, but a rewarding one, I think, when we get it right.

Books, books, books  - yes to get my supply of mysteries is fantastic.  I recommend Julia Fleming-Spencer, Nancy Atherton's Aunt Dimity series, and Martha Grime's Richard Jury .

Lately I have also been reading some of Stephen Clarke's Paris books.  This guy has made a career out of writing about the French and Paris in particular.   Hope you enjoy a quiet November!
