THAT TIME OF YEAR As we are now into November, it is obvious that we are approaching another time of the year. Basically gone are the warm fall days and days of good weather to finish up the jobs around the house and property that are so much easier to do in pleasant weather. We will still have some very nice days, but from here on out they are more a bonus than the expec - ed. What is very obvious is the much shorter daylight hours. It is a necessity for most to turn headlights on going and coming from work. This also increases the danger and risks of school buses traveling the roads picking up and dispensing children every morning and evening. Added caution is needed to help provide safe passage for the many school children whether they are riding or walking to school. November can be a very changing month. It is not unusual to have heavy snows in November. And again it is not unusual to have some very fine weather a few days at a time. Other things change as well. The schools have completed their first nine week grading periods. The athletic pictures at the schools are now changing from football, cross country, tennis, etc., to the king of Hoosier sports, basketball. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and of course once that is out of the way every one knows what is lurking in the immediate future . . . Christmas. This is the time of the year activities pick up for the most part. The activities follow the seasons and change into what we know as winter activities. There can be any day snow covering the ground when one arises ... or a bright sunshine glowing as the early morning sun appears in the eastern horizon. Many of our family and friends have left for the warmer climiate areas for the winter, but back here in Indiana, it is that time of year again . . . November ... a month that can produce about anything at anytime. But isn’t that what the four seasons are all about? Hardships and inconveniences may come from now on, but also the beauty of the changing of the seasons and the joyous holidays make up for much of the inconvenience we have to live through in our own locality. kME WHEN—
