One week before Thanksgiving

Yep, it's official...

The countdown has begun...

The countdown until the h-o-l-i-d-a-y-s.

(I'm not ready to SAY "it", so I will only spell "it"!)

The media is the worst culprit, I think...

Or maybe the big box stores.

But in my little part of the world,

this:

is what I see out my back door.

Not remotely related to the h-o-l-i-d-a-y-s.

Not even Winter!

My climbing rose decided the weather has been a little screwy,

so let's bloom like it's not  late November.

Let's bloom like it's July!

What a great welcome to winter and the h-o-l-i-d-a-y-s, don't you think?

Happy, rosey day to you!

I'm back to meandering!
