November? Seriously?

November! How can that be? I can't believe we have turned the calendar yet again - where has the fall gone? The leaves are pretty much gone, Hallowe'en is done and the first Christmas Craft Market is on this weekend. My outdoor work of cutting down and covering the perennial beds for winter is complete... yep, I can feel myself going into hibernation mode... Placed a few books on hold at the Library this morning, sewing projects are lined up... I'm ready for November hibernation. (I dislike November, it's so grey and dreary so I just bury myself in reading and sewing projects to "cope"... Oh! And of course I make sure there is good chocolate on hand.. lol)
I'm just a little behind on sharing some more fall photos with you. Although we've had a lot of rain this fall we have had some beautiful days to enjoy Mother Nature's splendour.
Do you have favourite trees in the autumn? I definitely do. The maples (especially those that turn red) and the sumacs are the ones I love best. I'm a proud Canadian all the time, but I sure do love our sugar maples in the fall.. (equally as much as in the spring in maple syrup season!) So here are a few of my favourite "maple shots" taken this fall.. enjoy!



Peace,
Linda

I also love maple trees pretty well all year around but especially in fall's brilliant orange and red. Beautiful photos Linda! And I agree it's nice to have some chocolate on hand to help us through November (and every month really). It was nice to see you at the market today. Enjoy the weekend.

Don't you wish that the fall season lasted longer, especially waking up to what we woke up to this morning? SNOW!!
