November, 2025 - Tailspin Farms

Hello, dear family and friends.

As the autumn leaves crunch underfoot and the air carries that crisp promise of winter, we find ourselves once again at the threshold of Thanksgiving. On this November 24, 2025—just a few days before we gather around tables laden with harvest’s bounty—it’s time to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the simple joys that weave through our lives.

Thanksgiving, that timeless American tradition rooted in gratitude and community, reminds us to cherish what we have amid the hustle of modern life. Whether you’re prepping the turkey, perfecting your pumpkin pie recipe passed down through generations, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a warm cup of cider, this holiday invites us all to count our blessings.

This year, I’m particularly grateful for:

Family and Friends: The laughter echoing through homes, the stories shared over seconds (and thirds) of mashed potatoes, and the unbreakable bonds that hold us together, even when miles apart.
The Beauty of Nature: The vibrant hues of fall foliage, the first frost on the windows, and the way the world slows down just enough to let us breathe deeply.
Health and Home: In a world that’s ever-changing, the comfort of a safe haven and the strength to face each day with hope.
Small Acts of Kindness: From a neighbor’s wave to a stranger’s smile, these moments remind us of our shared humanity.
The Feast Itself: Let’s not forget the star of the show—the golden turkey, savory stuffing, cranberry sauce with just the right tang, and pies that make the heart (and stomach) sing.

As we approach Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, November 27th, may your gatherings be filled with warmth, your conversations lively yet harmonious, and your plates overflowing with deliciousness. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about presence. If the rolls burn or the gravy lumps, laugh it off—those are the stories we’ll tell for years to come.

From our corner of the world to yours, we wish you a truly happy Thanksgiving. Let’s carry this spirit of gratitude forward, not just today, but every day.

With heartfelt thanks,

Margarita & Stace

Welcoming November

The calendar flips, and there it is—November, the quiet hinge between autumn’s blaze and winter’s hush. The air carries a sharper bite now, the kind that sneaks under scarves and reminds you you’re alive. Leaves that clung stubbornly to branches finally surrender, carpeting sidewalks in muted golds and rusts. It’s a month that asks us to slow down, to notice the small, steady rhythms of the world turning colder.

A Season of Subtle Shifts

November doesn’t shout. It whispers. The sun sets earlier, pulling blankets of dusk over the day by late afternoon. Pumpkins linger on porches a little longer, their orange glow softening into memory. Mornings greet us with frost-laced windows and the faint scent of woodsmoke drifting from chimneys. There’s a stillness here, a pause that invites reflection.

This is the month when nature strips itself bare, not in defeat, but in preparation. Trees stand skeletal against the sky, unapologetic in their nakedness. It’s a reminder that letting go can be beautiful, that shedding what no longer serves us makes space for what’s to come.

Traditions That Warm the Soul

November carries gratitude like a lantern. In the U.S., Thanksgiving anchors the month, drawing families to tables laden with turkey, cranberry sauce, and stories retold with each passing year. It’s a day to name what matters—health, love, the simple miracle of another trip around the sun.

But the rituals aren’t confined to one day. There’s the first hot cider sipped on a chilly evening, the crunch of leaves under boots during a twilight walk. Some light candles for Dia de los Muertos, honoring ancestors with marigolds and memories. Others mark Veterans Day or Remembrance Day, pausing to acknowledge sacrifice with poppies and silence.

A Time for Intention

November invites us inward. The frenzy of summer has faded, the sparkle of December not yet begun. It’s a month to curl up with a book as rain taps the window, to journal by lamplight, to plan—not with urgency, but with care. What seeds do we want to plant before the year ends? What habits deserve to take root in the quiet?

For some, it’s simply the resolve to cook one new recipe, to call a friend, to step outside and breathe the crisp air deeply.

Embracing the Month Ahead

November doesn’t demand perfection. It asks for presence. To notice the way streetlights halo in the fog. To savor the steam rising from a mug of tea. To wrap ourselves in layers—both literal and metaphorical—and walk gently into the shortening days.

So, here’s to November: the month of bare branches and full hearts, of gratitude spoken aloud and quiet hopes nurtured in the dark. May it hold you softly, steady you, and carry you toward winter’s light.
