The Linden dropped its leaves just a few days after the November photo was taken. Per usual, they went all at once: attached to the tree when we went to bed one evening, and on the ground the next morning.
November felt like that, everything happening all at once. The temperature dropped precipitously. Snow flew fast and furious. Daylight disappeared giving us drastically shorter days.
It feels like December should be the month to hunker down and just be. But it won't. With Advent and Christmas there is going to be a lot of going and doing. That's probably good, because the weather and light makes me want to hibernate. I want to eat and sleep and read good books under a blanket next to the fire. Maybe next month.

I feel like I know that tree now. Can't wait to see what you pick for First Photo 2015!
