We are well into the gray month of November. What can I say to enhance it? After the colorful leaves in October have fallen and left the limbs bare, I think how pretty they were.

The trees are standing like sentinels guarding the landscape. Did it snow last night, or could it be a heavy frost on the tree branches? The night sounds have died away, and it's too early for the early morning traffic. Looking back, I would notice one of my family grabbing a cup of coffee for breakfast, putting on their jacket as they go out the door, of f to business or school. I would feel guilty, but not today.

The aroma of coffee is drifting through the house, better than a breakfast bell.

I push the Halloween pumpkin aside, to set the table, waiting for the others members of the family to join us.

Bacon, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, sausage and gravy. I put out a pitcher of sorghum and a pint jar of maple syrup from New Hampshire. Oh so good!

After breakfast, we plan to take a trip through the countryside. How fortunate I am to have my family with me to see the last color of leaves and once again see the beauty of Autumn.
