The last color of fall

Mid November and the last color on the leaves, will soon be brown leaves on the ground and bare branches on the shrubs and trees.
I'm delighted for the cooler weather and am hoping for this reprieve from either air conditioning or the need for heating in the house.
It's that time in the seasons when there is a break in the outside work.
Just minuscule outdoor work to finish up, then no snow for hopefully a month or two.
With the darker afternoons and evenings, and less actual home keeping I've been doing, it's more time for reading, playing scrabble or watching movies.
I just finished 'True Compass' Ted Kennedy's memoir. It's over 500 pages, but well worth reading.
Soon it will be time for holiday preparation and family meals and activities.
