Welcome to November! I am sharing my calendar page for the month with you today.
Here is the quote I chose to go with the page:
“Wind warns November’s done with. The blown leaves make bat-shapes, Web-winged and furious.”
I happened upon Sylvia Plath's biography to learn she was a gifted and troubled poet. She suffered bouts of depression through her short life. Her husband poet Ted Hughes left her for another woman in 1962. She became depressed and committed suicide at age 30 in 1963. Gwyneth Paltrow was featured in a biopic of Plath called 'The Story of Plath'. Hughes published her works leading to a Pullitzer prize in 1982.
There are always some interesting life stories out there.
Daughter L is visiting this weekend and left this candy display out front last evening for Halloween but there were no takers.

Beautiful calendar page. I didn't know about Silvia Plath, how sad. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
This calender looks very fine ;)
lovely calendar with cute mouse.... pretty
Love the calendar page and sorry to see there were no trick-or-treaters, we never have any in our neighborhood either. Happy November!
Love it.
So bittersweet! Even Sylvia's life. I remember being obsessed with her work when I was a teen but later wondered why. Yes, Halloween was no takers here too. Love the calender!
Oh what a cool quote. I got tricked last night..spamed over 30 comments from Trump to Obama on my blog..so now I am really having to monitor comments. Hope it's not happening to anyone else. I am glad your daughter was visiting. Kind of sad Halloween this year.
Happy November! Love the squirrel! Wishing you lots of creativity! & joy!
Oh Christine this is adorable...I love it!!!
Love both the calendar and the Halloween candy display.
A lovely Calendar page ...
Happy November Wishes.
All the best Jan
So sorry when someone's husband leaves his wife behind.
Everything looking very nice! Thanks for sharing! 🍁🍂🌾
Your calendar for Nov. Is perfect. This is the first year that I have not decorated my house or dressed up myself. Our streets were empty. My daughter's neighbor filled a bag with candy and left it on my daughter's porch. There was a card inside that read, "You have been boo'd" I think people will be starting new ways to celebrate all of the holidays. Enjoy your day.
What a darling calendar page! It was interesting to learn some things about Plath thank you. It was sweet of your daughter to put out some candies.
I live so far from town and houses are not close together. November calendar is spot on.
Stay Safe and Coffee is on
We haven't had trick or treaters in several years now and certainly none last night. Have a happy November, Christine.
