We’re less than a month away from the start of Winter and it’s been mild so far. I don’t know if we always had November roses or I’m just noticing them now. It was a good year for leaves, a bit cooler than average in temperature according to the weather charts but we got off easy this month.

I love you, Canada, but you can keep those Arctic cold fronts to yourself.

UPDATE: The Arctic is showing the effects of climate change in thinning sea ice.
