In August, we went to Montana to visit family who live on the Flathead Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The Pend d’Oreilles also call this land their home. It heightened my awareness of the Native American culture and contributions to the nation. November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a right and just thing to recognize this special time of recognizing and celebrating the ancient and proud peoples that called this land home well before Europeans. They have sacrificed much past and present, and their history is an important part of world history.
On Sun, Nov 2, 2025 don’t forget to set your clocks back to standard time. I hate moving the clocks back and forward, but in this case “gaining an extra hour of sleep” is not a bad thing.
The month of November has arrived. May we all come together in these days of uncertainty and struggle for many. Let’s hope for better days ahead. Peace and comfort to you all good people.
I think candy corn gets a bad rap. My workplace handed out this little pouch of candy corn in advance of Halloween. It is appreciated. How sweet of them.
