No Shave November
And because I couldn’t Help it…
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.
Birthstone: yellow Topaz and Citrine symbolizing friendship (I grew up wishing my birthstone was prettier, I appreciate more now as an adult however)
Flower: Chrysanthemum
Zodiacs: Scorpio and Sagittarius
