I have already been embracing the joy this season offers! It's easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle, but I am remembering to fully take-in glimpses of glowing lights, the warmth of gathering with loved ones, and carrying on special traditions.

November in New England is ideal for outdoor adventures and indoor activities. We enjoy exploring colorful leaf-covered trails on nature hikes, an occasional hayride at a local farm, and some harvest style home-cooking. We have been loving this season of apple picking together, savoring crisp autumn air, and sharing warm spiced cider. Our gratitude for family and friends is overflowing! We plan to carry that right through November.

As the air turns crisp and colorful leaves begin their gentle descent, October invites us to slow down and embrace the quieter rhythms of the season. In a world that often demands we speed up, this month is a beautiful reminder to pause and find comfort in our routines.
