Happy October 1 ~

My goodness, it is the 1st of October, my hard to believe September is over.

In our neck of the woods, it is quite cool and the leaves are turning so slowly yet so quickly.



October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band."
~George Cooper


I am so thankful for the simple things, the crisp cool air, the smell of my harvest candle burning, the quiet sounds in the morning, the beautiful yellow mums I bought this week.

Hoping that my family and friends have a lovely October month !

I too am wondering what happened to September. It was really hot here and seemed like summer but Autumn arrived with October, so it is a good thing.
