"We only part to meet again."
~ 'But beautiful'____________
"Yea, I have looked, and seen November there;
The changeless seal of change it seemed to be,
Fair death of things that, living once, were fair;
Bright sign of loneliness too great for me,
Strange image of the dread eternity,
In whose void patience how can these have part,
These outstretched feverish hands, this restless heart?"

Thanks for the marvelous pics and the wonderful words. Kim
All of your photos and verses are beautiful. These will keep us all afloat during the dull days of winter! Take care, Jan
Patsi, you always make me chuckle! Of course, I have one whole room filled only with poetry ;0) Actually, the Internet is a wonderful source but, seriously, loving the word, I do have book shelves in each room of my home, plus a library, coming from an era before the Internet was even thought of! Nothing like a book to hold ...
Brenda ... I love the 'gold and orange' of November. My youngest son's birthday (26) is Nov 1st and mine on the 13th!
I'm beside you, Kim. Mums are wonderful subjects to photograph ... God was good to give them pretty faces since they don't have the best fragrance!
Enjoyed your visit, Jan, and thank you for your kind words.
Hope your birthday was happy! And I agree with you, there is nothing like holding a good book.
Your photos are glorious, and you have a talent for finding beautiful poetry.
I'm salivating over all those wonderful recipes and will try several.
We seem to share a love of ginger, cranberries and citrus. All delicious flavors!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Frances
well.
Thank you for visiting and your kind comment, Trying to Stay Calm.
Thanks, Kerri! Ho-Hum was a phrase used by my 'growing-up' children for their 'stay-at-home' mother(working mother's lives seemed more glamourous) and also, the name of my working novel, Diary of a Ho-Hum Housewife. We do have much in common ... stay tuned ... although turkey and pumpkin are retired until next autumn, more ginger, cranberries and citrus fill December fare (can't get my fill)!
Thank you, Frances, and I hear you. Thankfully, a bit easier getting a 'jump start' when snow began yesterday ... seems more like December, when the world is dressed in white!
Welcome home, Cindy. Do hope your holiday was lovely. Happy December!
