My Sorrow, when she's here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane.
- Robert Frost, My November Guest

If you have any other ideas, such as situations or landscapes that remind you of November, please go ahead with them. Enter more than once! As usual, anyone can enter, drawings should be done in ArtPad, humor is more important that artistic skill, entries and comments should be posted as a response to this post, and frequent screenshots should be taken in case ArtPad fails.
