Welcome to November

Love the tradition of taking time to pause and be grateful for...

Our home and finally starting to feel like this is our space
     most of the boxes are unpacked
     decorations are beginning to be placed

Men who get excited about old furniture
     and driving them into Columbus
     and figuring out how to make it work

Fall weather and soups
     nothing that I love more than a big pot of soup on the stove
     and bringing my own bowl to the tailgate
     and contests with cousins to see who can eat the most
              declaring myself the winner after finishing my 5th bowl

City services that haul away my junk
     30 bags of leaves (what we did all weekend)
     We were those trashy neighbors waiting for bulk pickup
     Recycling bins are inching their way closer
             15 blocks and counting

Voting by mail
     and avoiding the lines
     and sitting with my computer being able to research each issue
     and feeling like I actually get a say in our future
