November brings with it the final harvests,
and a final showing of fall leaves. This month we hope “all is safely gathered
in, ere the winter storms begin.” November uses all our senses as the days fill
with sights of bright autumn foliage and hay stacks, sounds of crunching
leaves and chain saws, smells of fires in the stoves and crisp morning
air, tastes of creamy soups and baked goods, and the feeling of
cold fingers and warm gloves! Some days in November bring warnings that winter
is fast approaching, and others bring warm days where only “a flannel” is
needed. This is the month we gather together to celebrate our blessings at a
hearty Thanksgiving Dinner, but hopefully fill the month with gratitude that
continues throughout the year. November - filled with harvests, dinners, and
dancing leaves - is also a great time to be sure we continue with our
preparedness efforts. True “preparedness” is not a destination we arrive at. It
is a way of life. It is “Provident Living” and “Self-Reliance.” It is
protection and peace for parents and children alike. Let us remember to use
November to add to and continue on in living a life of Preparedness!
