Cinnamon Sugar Days

Before November slips away into the frenzy of December, it must be acknowledged that it has its own special beauty. The gorgeous gaudy hues of autumn have faded to shades of russet; bare black branches form traceries against the horizon, and the earth reveals its true and lovely contours. It is also the time when a first light powdery snowfall sprinkles down and creates a cinnamon sugar effect, hiding nothing: the enhancement of November.
