November is a month of many activities, and we are fast approaching some important events of November. National Veterans day was Friday, Nov. 11. We should honor our veterans every day. We look forward to another special day in November, Thanksgiving. Churches and families prepare many events to celebrate this holiday. The first freeze is forecasted for Friday when we will see the coldest weather this fall. We can’t complain we have had some beautiful days of sunshine and enjoyed our summer flowers.
