As if following some great cosmic schedule the winds of November have roared to life around here over the past few days. Great swirls of golden leaves lining the streets now. The lonesome bending trees the visible witnesses to its breathy dominion. The autumn wind is not just another weather element but more a haughty breathing entity. Winter’s gasping icy resurrection maybe? Messy hair and cold pinched cheeks, little reminders to all of us that change is afoot.
So welcome, winds of November- a playlist to mark your arrival.

How beautiful, Sean! I generally just curse at the wind, but what a much superior idea to try to capture it with poetry instead. Words are more powerful than the bitterest northerly.
And of course, a brilliant playlist - a mini blip theme, almost.
Bravo!
