A different kind of to-do list

Fall can be a busy time for many people. There are school activities and sports, putting the garden to bed and preparing the house and hearth for winter.  However, I find that taking a couple hours off from dealing with the list of things I “have to” do to recharge my batteries may be more productive in the long run. Here are a few exhibits and events in November that look good to me.
