Catching up on November at home and in the neighborhood…
We had lots of rainy, cold weather, brightened by leaves beginning their color changing and falling,
tupelo and katsura
sumac
gingko
A rainy day with magical sun breaks…
Looking across the Willamettte River to SE Portland from the Marquam Bridge
Meanwhile, the neighborhood is lit up with the western sunbeams pouring in beneath the clouds…
And more leaves glow along the streets…
We had some delicious meals shared with friends:
A beautiful eggplant curry with pomegranate
Thanksgiving pies
Meanwhile, I continued my knitting…
I finished one pair of socks,
and started a Malabrigo slip stitch blanket,
and another pair of socks.

And a Tiny Gnome for gifting (Anna Hrachovec)
We voted at the beginning of the month, with mostly satisfactory results, though there have been some setbacks.
We went on three hikes in November, and to the Maryhill Museum, all to be described in the next post…
