November is here! The southern Utah views are filled with beautiful fall leaves that seem to make the air glow golden! A flannel shirt feels cozy, and the smell of fall leaves, a morning fire, and the cool air fill each day. This is the month we can fill our thoughts and words with gratitude! We have been so blessed with a bounteous harvest, fall rains, and the opportunity to fill our shelves. Hopefully, we have been working diligently, so – as our thanksgiving month progresses - we can say, “All is safely gathered in, let the winter storms begin!” May each of us have a wonderful Thanksgiving season as we fill our lives with provident living and make preparedness a way of life!
