NOVEMBER – Winter is setting in. With return to Standard Time the dark evenings are even longer. It will soon be dark by 6:00 p.m. here in southern Ohio. Many of our November days are just all-over grey, from grey skies to gray hills with leafless grey trees and grey atmosphere – just cold, damp and gloomy. Still too early to expect much, if any, snow. But on an occasional sunny day we might enjoy a heavy frost on lingering green leaves. And inside all is warm, colorful and cheery. All month (in my family, anyway) we are planning the Thanksgiving feast. Thanksgiving Day, a day set aside for giving thanks to God for all the blessings in our lives, is a national holiday and a major one for most of us.
Here at the Gabfest, we have the gloom of empty nests. But we also have the cheer of knowing that Millicent is settled in her warm winter home, while Breagha is enjoying his second winter not too far away. Our chat-room fires are kept burning brightly and our new TV/telly screen is always at the ready., so hopefully we can all keep our computers in working order and enjoy a little chit-chat, some music and maybe a bit of streetwalking. Special Events include the possibility of another Music Night with suggested Movie theme and a group streetwalk to some as yet mystery location.
So where is our Gabfest chat-room.? Have you ever wondered? Well of course, it is at some undisclosed cyberspace location in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, not too far from the Loch Garten nest, home of EJ and Odin.

CC I was just watching the snow news - it looks terrible!! 72 inches somewhere in NY (it said where, I forget) That is 6 feet straight, never mind drifts. Houses are snowed closed, people imprisoned in their own homes. Ofcourse they are fearful of collapsed roofs.
I'm glad anyway, that you are OK.
Don't know if I posted this before, but even if I did, I think it is worth repeating.

WILLOW said: ! "Nothing like soup in the winter! Leek soup sounds lovely, and I also make it with added potatoes"
Willow, when I was looking for leek soup recipes, seemed all I could find was leek & potato, but I wanted just leek - more like onion soup, I guess. Except for baking I usually do my own thing anyway, but I do like to start with a good recipe for a base when I'm cooking something I don't do very often.

Oh I do hope all our birds are safe from the cold and excess snow!!!!

Another song from the same album. No date on mine, But it does have my name "June Throckmorton" so I've had it a while.
One thing about You Tube, it is endless. Searching for the above songs, I found this. I don't remember ever hearing it before and I think it is quite amusing. I particularly enjoyed the line "In the fling I was flung with you with you."
So many delightful songs, where are they all when we need them for a music night.
