Poor November


People around town are already starting to festoon, adorn, trim, embellish & ornament  their lamposts, yards & doors with lights & Christmas decorations. But our actual landscape looks more like this sketch, from November, 2003. 
Mid-November Quebec City, 2012 displayed last shouts of autumn colors...
But signs pointed to next month's celebrations & bookshops were already well stocked with Christmas books. Our month of November seems to get ignored. It lacks the glitz of October & is overshadowed by the anticipation of  December...Still, it's a lovely month...
A Happy November Thanksgiving to you!

    Happy Thanksgiving, Rita!
    In Canada, we celebrated Thanksgiving in October. I used to love this holiday, the decorations, the food (except the pumpkin pie :-) ).
    English speaking turkeys say: gobble, gobble.
    Polskie indyki mówią: gulgulgulgulgul ;-).
