As we climb over the Hump of November on this Monday… 🐪

National Recycling Day, ♻️ which is a good thing to celebrate by well cleaning out those tin cans and bottles. 🥫 🍾 I like recycling, after all, many things don’t burn very well even if you live way out in the country like many folks in rural Pennsylvania who like making that stinky black smoke.

Even with the time change, the mornings are pretty dark here in the land of Delmaratian. 🌅 If I take the express bus home, I will be walking home in the dark 🚶‍♀️ from the express. I will take my decision to take the local or express, day by day, a lot depending on the weather. 🚌

Tuesday will be cold but at least sunny. My south-facing office does let a lot of sunlight in 🌞 so it will at least be nice once I’m in the office but with that wind and temperatures in the 40s should be pretty cool, but in a few weeks we will be thinking that is a warm day as December becomes a reality. 🎅

Thursday is one week to turkey day. 🦃 It’s also the last sunset after 4:30 PM for a while, like around Christmas when we start getting more sunlight in the afternoon as the earth wobbles in favor of sunlight in the evening. 🌎

This weekend I plan to stay in town, although if it’s decent on Saturday I’ll go to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. 🐸 I am planning doing Sunday lunches rather than dinners come next week as I find driving 🚘 home to be hard after dark with so much opposing traffic headlights on the rural roads.
