I love October. Profound, I know. But really, I LOVE October... the colors? Yes. But I also love the warm days and cool nights, the scent of crisp drying leaves, hayrides, pumpkins, sweaters, boots, soups and stews, caramel apples, pumpkin pies and orange skies. My dahlias are at their best and the field of corn in front of my house is in its glory drying to a mixture of green, brown, burgundy and gold.
Every year I look forward to October for all of these reasons, and every year I am more surprised by how quickly it arrives. I feel like 2014 just began - and now we are nearing the end. It is absolutely true that every year goes by faster and faster as we age. All the more reason for me to slow down. October's sheer beauty forces me to stop and look and just be in the moment.
