The Rhythm of November
Cold temperatures inspire me. More than that, they empower and liberate me from Routine. And while I am certainly no slave to a routine, still … there is are variations of my daily habits — like new rhythms — which find their way into my life during the month of November and linger ’til the warmer mornings of Spring.
Such as … An entire new (bulging!) folder of photos of clouds and sunsets and the varied lines of trees which have shed their leaves for the dormancy of Winter.
Such as … A brisk morning walk with a finally-frisky-and-healed Golden Retriever puppy.
Such as … Steaming delicious whole milk and making my own version of café mocha! 
The thinnest yellow light of November is more warming and exhilarating than any wine they tell of. The mite which November contributes becomes equal in value to the bounty of July. ~ Henry David Thoreau
