Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

So, how's November where you are?
Went swimming in the Med this weekend. (Okay, the "Tyrhennian"...whatever.)
November here in Saint Louis is delightful. I am wearing a T-shirt, not due to fashion sense but comfort. The other day was delightfully warm, with brilliantly clear skies, perfect for taking a hike in the Ozarks and enjoying the remnants of Fall color.
Oh dear, but the Aussies and down-under types confuse me. Met a nice guy from South Africa last week and he invited us down for a visit around Christmas, springtime.
Today in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the clouds are thick, and it's 47F.
The leaves are mostly gone, and at night the lucky ones with real fireplaces fill the night air with their smoke.
We've had a couple of hard frosts over the past few days, and the fall mums have collapsed.
Over the next few days the temperature is going to fall into the fifties, and by Thanksgiving (the original, not that phony northern October Novus Ordo version ;^) our highs are supposed to be only in the 30's.
Time for long nights, fine ales, glowing embers, and fine company. Ahh...

ReplyDeleteIt's in the mid 70s here in south-central Texas.
ReplyDeleteIt was about 68 and sunny yesterday in southeast lower Michigan. Stunningly beautiful autumn day, with a few golden leaves still on the nearby maples.
ReplyDeleteI even mowed the lawn, presumably for the last time.
Here in Brazil, it is very hot, with some ocasional rain...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring weather. Warm, but not hot.
ReplyDeleteGetting Indian Summer in Ottawa. It was 13 C today, but it had been in the single digits and dipping below freezing overnight last week.

ReplyDeleteThings are weird in Upsidedownland.
But just wait a day, after all, it is November.

People just love to talk about the weather, don't they?
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteIf it helps at all, it's cold and wet here.
One of those almost perfect "First Nations" Summers in Halifax. Sunny every day; temperatures between 13 and 16 C. It won't last.
