“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” ― Erma Bombeck

Cinderella redux

“Single ladies, the only thing we need to be rescued from is the notion that we need to be rescued.” ― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

November arrived, cold as frozen iron

“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix I took this photo at Loring Park in Minneapolis, MN. Most grass is covered by a blanket of leaves these days and it is lovely.
