november

gosh, it is n o v e m b e r !
my least favorite month of the year. i can not think of a single thing that i like about november. or wait: my best friends birthday. so, i take it back. there is one thing. actually two, now, that i am thinking about it. the sound of the name: november. it sounds smooth and comforting, round...somehow but nothing like the real thing. it does not give away the cold, the lack of light, the lack of colors, particularly outside, the last leaves are lost, trees are bare, the meadows are no longer green but are left in a withering and sad yellowish-brown...november for me is: an icy drizzle, grey sky, you walk around shivering and you can bet on not having an umbrella when you need one.
the best thing about novmeber is the fact that it will pass. december i like due to all the lights (artificial but better than nothing) in the streets, the christmas market, the smell of caramel and almonds and sometimes even snow.
i changed the design of my blog today as i felt that the bright green is not appropriate for this season. however, michael convinced me to stay away from the brown background that i was going to choose.
lucy adjusts well to the season: she just sleeps away the days on warm pillows or next to the heating.
i am going to follow suit and snuggle up with my book and a blanket.
