"November woods are bare and still.
November days are bright and good.
Life’s noon burns up life’s morning chill.
Life’s night rests feet which long have stood.”
Helen Fiske Hunt (1830-1885)

FULL MOON: The FULL MOON in November will occur on Friday, November 15th. and is the
HUNTER’S MOON for 2025. In other years, it is known as BIG WIND MOON due to the high winds that would sweep across the Plains during the month. Other tribes called it FALLING LEAF MOON and DYING GRASS MOON because of all the leaves falling and grasses dying off.

HOLIDAYS: In 2025, Veteran’s Day falls on Tuesday, November 11th. Remember our military service branches and those who have served and who continue to serve and protect us today Thanksgiving is celebrated on Thursday, November 27th. Enjoy time with family and friends and reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for and try to keep that feeling always.
THE GARDEN: Keep watering until the ground temperature reaches 40 degrees F. Pay particular attention to any plants or shrubs recently planted. Plants that face winter dryness are prone to damage during the cooler months. The trick is to water deeply and less often in order to establish self-sufficient plants. Drain your hoses and put them away so they don't freeze and burst. Winter heating dries the air out in your home considerably. Help your house plants survive by misting them or placing the pots on a pebble-filled tray of water
