. . . And So It Begins

Now that we've passed the first week of November, we've officially entered my favorite season.  The countdown to the holidays has begun, but the landscape is not yet barren.  In fact, the landscape is gorgeous,  second only in my opinion to Spring's welcome green.  Because the holiday season can be so busy, it's difficult not to turn around in January and wonder what that blur was.  The challenge is to take advantage of every family and friend-filled minute and still stop and see the colors.
