We're just into November and it continues to be a lovely and strange season in various ways. From pumpkins still popping up in patches, to stately evergreens holding their ground after leaves have fallen. It’s been a fabulous Autumn as we enjoy temperatures in the low 70’s. However, even as we revel in this balmy weather, the nagging realization that this may well be a symptom of climate change, tempers the pleasure. After yesterday’s election we’ll be relieved to see the end of relentless political ads and campaign signs for another two years… and perhaps the contentious rhetoric will also cool down with the season. | |

Historical Note: Armistice Day | |
On November 11, 1918… in Compiegne, France, the declaration of Armistice was signed by all powers effectively ending military operations and hostilities on all fronts of World War I. The world’s first official observance of Armistice Day was at Buckingham Palace, London on November 11th in 1919. Since then, many of the other Allied countries now recognize November 11th as "Remembrance Day". In America, we observe the date as "Veterans Day", recognizing and celebrating the service of all US military veterans. | |
