Flowers are in full bloom, grass is being cut and the fresh fruits and veggies of November are not what I am used to.  It takes some thinking to switch from November = winter = winter veggies, brussel sprouts, etc to November = spring/summer, fresh strawberries and raspberries, more lettuces (YAY!) and salad veggies.  It’s also very weird to see Christmas decorations in the stores and the city being decorated in red and green, Christmas trees too.
