“In November, the smell of food is different. It is an orange smell. A squash and pumpkin smell. It tastes like cinnamon and can fill up a house in the morning, can pull everyone from bed in a fog. Food is better in November than any other time of the year.”
― Cynthia Rylant, In November

We’re baking Collaboration into Digital Writing Month, and this week’s theme of “visual literacy” opened the door for this project: Our Eyes on the Skies. Folks are sharing out images of the skies where they live. You are invited, too. Add your pic. It’s a global sharing project as we all gaze above.
