Splendid November

There's still a lot of color here,

and Autumn is lingering on.
 

 

 

I love oatmeal cookies.  I usually put raisins in them, but was out, so I made a batch of plain old fashioned oatmeal cookies.

 

 

We don't see much of the golds here, so when I saw this tree, I had to take a picture of it.
 

 

 

I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot about daylight savings time, so I went to church an hour early.  Thankfully, a friendly face was already there setting things up in the church, so I had a chat with her.  Went to get some coffee, and came back.  The cross on the church gives off a beautiful light when it's dark out. 
 

 

It's a little early, but couldn't resist this holiday blend.  I think blackberry jam is my favorite right now.
 

 

I wanted to show you the kids' costumes this year. Francesca was an Owl, and Mia was a vampire haha.  Francesca was a bit timid going up to the houses this year, but as soon as they gave her some candy, she giggled and ran away.

 

Remember afterwards when we put the candy in a pile, sorted it out, and traded with siblings?

 

Oh, the wonder of November.
