‘Tis November today.
It arrived with a roar.
Cool yet lovely, not to be ignored.
I’m home, you see.
With my ever-present list.
One that I might
just choose to dismiss.
Instead, I shall work at coffee, books,
peace and rest.
Leaves are rustling, the furnace kicks on;
soup simmers quietly, the smell of .. home.
‘Tis November today …
and I’m home, you see.
Would you consider joining me?
It is a soup kind of weekend. I am cooking tomorrow!
I agree; I had cooked the chicken down on H’ween night so all I had to do was assemble the soup on Friday 🙂 We had it for lunch AND supper — what kind are you making, Kate? MJ
Oh, I would LOVE to join you, MJ! Just let me grab my things…and hop a plane!
Enjoy your wonderful November day at HOME.
Please do 🙂 wouldn’t we ever have fun!
I really enjoyed the day — yes I did a few things (cleaned out my closet – ugh – but it sure looks much better now!) but mostly I did what I felt like and that was the feeling of a day OFF 🙂
Bests! MJ
Indeed I would;-)
C’mon over 🙂 MJ
It is great you are home. Does FedEx get soup to their customers on time? A jar would be nice 🙂 looks great. Enjoy!
You know what? They probably do 🙂 I’d have to get some dry ice, methinks!
There’s nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a blustery fall day … Bests! MJ
Sounds like a wonderful, cozy, relaxing way to spend the day. And your soup looks yummy!
It was wonderfully cozy, Terri. Just what I needed. I did get a few things accomplished (cleaned out my closet, took 3 bags to goodwill and 2 to the dump!) so that feels better – I can actually stand to look in there now!! I read, I simmered, I enjoyed the soup, I even napped in my chair for 20 min – whee!
Have a great weekend 🙂 MJ
Love the poem! Happy November!
Thank you, Leah. It just kind of evolved 🙂 MJ
soup looks awesome!!!
It’s even better today, 2 days later 🙂 Happy November!

It IS fall – the mrs. made a beef stew with sausage today – excellent. It’s that time of year.
Yum Yum. one of my faves!
MJ
A virtual cupful would be delightful. ooo–your rhyming is contagious as is your soup inspiration for today’s lunch and/or dinner. Have a great rest of the weekend with an extra hour to enjoy. 🙂
I agree 🙂 Thanks, I had fun with the rhyming!! It’s a beautifully sunny day here, the leaves are still on the trees (for the most part) so I am headed out for a walk in that morning sun = whee!
MJ
Oh, yum!
