My
favorite month, October, has ended. As
always, I enjoyed every day, every moment.

October 1, 2016 - greens of summer are about to change
|
The
days were warm, sunny and comfortable.
My daily walks with my best two buds were relaxing. The atmosphere was
peaceful. The colors of the deciduous
trees started out with their summer green foliage and ended with a magical
change. The ending hues are a bit on the
muted side this fall, but nonetheless, spectacular.

I believe October 31st proved to be ‘peak’ for us autumn color aficionados.

The
summer, exotics as I like to call them, birds have moved on. I miss their diverse songs and calls, their
presence. I am already anticipating
their return. It will be interesting to
see how many different species return to our farm which has become quite a bird
sanctuary.
A
two-day side trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina with a quick overnight
stay with my son in Fayetteville was just the proverbial ‘icing on the cake’. It was fabulous to be able to swim in a
pool. The water was as cool as our pond,
but I did not have to worry about fish biting me…ahhhh!
October
just could not get any better than this year’s, but then again, I think I say
that every year.
As
always, October did not disappoint and it remains my favorite month.
Today
is the half way point between the start of fall and the start of the next season.
On
toward… winter…ugh!
