It’s no secret that I am affected by the weather. And although it’s not my first time experiencing the Northern Hemisphere’s version of November (okay I’ve only lived through about half a dozen over the years), it still catches me unawares, everytime.
But somehow, I don’t think I’m the only one who suffers from a touch of the November blues. A few of you might be feeling the same way, so this week, to help us get through the rest of the month, I am going to attempt to turn those blues yellow by bathing all my posts in this beautiful vibrant colour. And since the falling leaves are all goldeny ’round these parts, I will head out later in the week and snap some photos of my favourite golden leafed streets in Amsterdam, just for you.

Love this post of yours Pia 🙂 I’ve been loving yellow too.
I just created a new blog for my love of yellow and posted about an article “yellow is the new black” on my blog last week too! what a fun coincidence.

I look forward to your cheery yellow posts all week long. It’s getting dark here in Vancouver at 4:30, so I could use a little brightness! 🙂

oh dear grace! I shall save you indeed, you will need a good hit of yellow right about now.
Tempestdelfuego – it is the same here now – it is dark by 4:30pm :-(. I adore Vancouver but not so much in November! I know it is dark, cold, and from memory rather foggy some days too. So, lets get some yellow coming your way!

Pia –
I, too, get the November blues, and it helps so much just to acknowledge it and discuss it with friends as we try to come up with cozy activities to get through the long New England winter ahead!

Thank you for the cheer, Pia. I do get a bit down in November, this will help :-).

Yay for yellow! While the winter blues haven’t quite hit me yet, I will have to remember to come back to the November Yellow Posts in a month or two when I need them!
