Being Autumnal

November.  The month when I first saw this city.  The month the light changes and world becomes hushed and somnolent.  A month of in-between.  

We're lighting more candles and eating foods that are preservable- apples, squashes, potatoes, beans.

As the sky becomes an impassive slate and night creeps up before the day is done, our eyes have been seeking out final tidbits of color.

And just in case the seasonal changes weigh too heavily on our hearts, there's a much needed opportunity to smile: 

I hope that you are also being autumnal!
Love always,
