November has never been a favorite of mine, but so far this year has been different. Because the hot weather extended into October, everything was slowed down. As of Sunday when I took this photo, this pile of leaves was one of the few on the street where I like to scoot. Normally at this time we're raking the last of the leaves, not the first. This year's colors have been more gold than scarlet but that might be because our nights weren't cold enough until lately. Global warming must be at work here. But, for me as a scooter-rider, conditions have been pretty close to ideal. I gather that's going to change. Snow showers are predicted for Tuesday. It's been sweet while it's lasted.
