November Evening

The day tips dark earlier, now. Can't help feeling a bit oppressed by scarcity of light. Here the cold presses in -- the golden season giving way to more monochromatic times.

All the more reason to stoke up the warmth, inside. To shine our lights brighter. Soft sweaters and deeper blankets to sink within, cocoa and hot coffee. Hats and gloves.

It's good to think of the hearth, and to hold to Summer memories -- while my breath turns ghostly in the air.
