What November is like
November is a month of open views and low light. With the leaves down you can see the shape of the land — ravines, terraces and old foundations — that summer hides. Trumpeter swans gather on open water, the first snow usually falls, and the village gets ready for the holidays with its Small Business Saturday and Christmas market.
