Welcome! I had to pull over to the side of the road on my way home from the grocery store the other day. LOOK at this tree! It is the lovely, rosy shade of autumn, isn't it? We haven't had any snow so our trees here in Colorado are stunning.
We had dinner with friends the other night and I made friends with this cute pooch. Isn't he sweet? He has the cutest teddy bear nose and the softest fur.
I have so many books to talk about but I'll wait until I have fun photos of them. Meanwhile, I am waiting for The Betsy-Tacy Treasury by Maud Hart-Lovelace to come in the mail! Have you read the Betsy books? They are full of love and happiness.

I chose this pretty book from my elementary school library MANY years ago. The cover sold me. I still read these books because the sweet world that Hart Lovelace creates is a gentle waltz into the past.
We're having the book fair at school and yesterday we had to dress as super heroes. I bought a cape, mask, and headband from the clearance aisle ($1.65) and went to school as Bat Grandma. The book fair is delightful, all those brand new books for hungry readers! Don't you want books for Christmas? I like shopping for my own! Smile.
November is a warm and cozy evening sort of month, isn't it? Spice and apples and pumpkin pie. Yum.
I think I shall bake a few cookies for breakfast. I bought refrigerator "break and bakes" and there is absolutely no reason not to have a few warm cookies before I dash off to school.
Have a wonderful day today, full of November moments.
Oh, and smile a lot. You have that one-of-a-kind grin.
(LOVE!)
