Week of November 3, 2024

Good morning, 🫎 Neighbor!

Did you enjoy your extra hour last night, courtesy of Daylight Saving Time ending? I used mine to grab a few extra zzz’s, but I’d love to hear how you spent it! Now that it’s officially time to embrace shorter days and earlier sunsets, stick with me — I’ll keep you in-the-know on things to do until the longer days return in April.

In today’s newsletter:

• 🧑‍🎨 Feeling artsy?

• 🇺🇸 It’s almost Election Day

• 🛍️ Shopping for Christmas already - yay or nay?

Let’s get to it.
