The last leaves and November reading

 Autumn is coming to an end, but some leaves are still on. Colours are incredibly beautiful...

November leaves

Colours are lasting

These leaves make me remember of O.Henry's story "The last leaf". It is is so deeply touching.

 Another seasonal book is "Moominvalley in November" by Tove Jansson. The fairy-tale, like all stories by this writer, is good for adults as well as for children. I adore all of Tove Jansson's Moominvalley stories, they are very much psychological and humane.

It's raining over and over... So, it's just the time of the year for rolling up in an armchair with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate...

November lights

The sun is rising later and later and it's getting dark more and more early. But the darker around, the brighter lights are. Not only street lamps at nights but also the hawthorn in the daytime. Its berries are burning and shining red against the background of the gloomy grey sky.
