Welcome to November!

"The white sun

like a moth
on a string
circles the southpole."

- A. R. Ammons, Late November

Here we are, another November, Summer a memory, Thanksgiving and Christmas ahead. I hear your groans, yes I do! But there is more to November than just Thanksgiving, there is something to celebrate every day of this month. I'm getting you started with the first week - thanks, party person - after that you're on your own (and there is more, much, much more). Pick out your favorites and enjoy!

National Harvey Wallbanger Day (woo hoo!!!)

Halloween was great! We covered the town, from the stoop at Ann's Paradise gift shop to Dinghy Dock, to Mamacita's, The Spot, Heather's and lots of costumed reveling street corners in-between. If you'd like to see more photos, go here! I'm just too lazy to upload all of them when I could be drinking a cup of tea in the garden...or snagging 10 more minutes of keeping my eyes closed. The sun is very bright today. Really.
