Dear November,
(If it’s not too bold, may I say, sweet November?)
On this, your last day with us I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Honestly, wow. Not to put you in a box or anything, or to suggest you are a one-trick pony of leaves dropping and skies curdling gray– but seriously, who knew?
Who knew you had such temperatures inside you? Days upon days upon days– right up until today of warm, easy mornings and soft afternoons. I write to you in jeans and a t-shirt which along with a pair of sneakers and a cotton cardigan is all that I wore this morning on our little walk together.
I will admit, I’ve known you a long time and had no idea under that raw, brute shell of gray lay a heart of gold.
So thank you. It made a world of difference and I soaked in every last drop– even the roses are still blooming– huzzah.
I’d also like to take this moment to thank the WPA.
November, I know this isn’t really specific to you, but if you don’t mind sharing the dias for a minute– because this lovely park where the dogs and I walk— this lovely, lovely park that has gentle trails and sits above the river and is hugged tight by a half-moon of moss-covered stone walls that the people of WPA built. Well, I just want to give them some props– making something of beauty during a time of terrible stress and deprivation– a place of beauty that survives to this day– generations later. I love that kind of visioning.
Okay, back to you Miss Eleventh Month.
Don’t think I don’t know you are a bad ass. Sure, lots of people might assume you’re like the dirge coming around the corner on a breeze kicking up a swirl of dead leaves, but I know better. I know you secretly let your freak flag fly.
But mostly, thanks for sending us out in a shower of yellow and gold– that was so super kind.
Peace out, November– see you next year.
Bisous, E

Elizabeth,
I love your writer's voice…
We have had an awesome November as well, so I will sign my name to the the love note too. Right now, though, it is 12:58, so it is actually December first. As I look out my window…what do I see? Snowflakes. The snow from a couple of weeks ago was gone by Thanksgiving, but here we go again…xoxo
