November Facts:
- Most, if not all, of the
leaves have fallen off the trees in the Northern Hemisphere by the end of
November. - Throughout much of history,
November has often been thought of as a somber month because it signaled the
start of winter. People would spend the month storing up their harvest and
preparing their food and homes in order to survive the winter. - Folklore: If there’s ice
in November that will bear a duck, there’ll be nothing after but sludge and
muck.
See you next month!
