November can bring the first snowflakes of the season with a hint of long winter months ahead. The trees are bare and the days are short. Walking Main Street, I saw a solitary person walking ahead of me. A touch of snow on the ground mingled with fallen leaves on the sidewalk. I was struck by the contrast between the snowy dusk and the warm, lighted, inviting businesses we were passing, reminding us of holidays and gatherings ahead.
