November’s Favorite Quote and a new free printable!

In November the trees are standing all sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are.
Spreading their arms like dancers.

5 quotes for November

Oh boy, I sure made a challenge for myself by deciding to choose 5 favorite quotes a month, and starting just before November! Most of the quotes I found for November are depressing, written in depression by depressed people. And I can sympathize. But I’m not going to let this month get me down. It’s only 30 days and yes, there are many more days until spring comes again, but being all gloom and doom about it isn’t going to change the facts. So, I’m going to buck up. This month marks the beginning of a season of gratitude for me, and I hope for you as well.

Favorite November quotes

Below are my favorite choices for November, and here’s to hoping I don’t have another month where I run into so many downer quotes again! 🙂

I love to see the cottage smoke
Curl upwards through the trees,
The pigeons nestled round the cote
On November days like these…
~John Clare (1793–1864), “Autumn”

November… leads the months their wintry round… ~Anne Hunter (1742–1821), “November, 1784”

Fear not November’s challenge bold—
We’ve books and friends,
And hearths that never can grow cold:
These make amends!
~Alexander L. Fraser (1870–1954), “November,” c.1918

That soft autumnal time…
The woodland foliage now
Is gathered by the wild November blast…
~John Howard Bryant (1807-1902), “The Indian Summer”

Drumroll please for my favorite …

And my favorite is by Cynthia Rylant. I like the description in this poem, because it helps me remember each season has it’s own beauty.
