October





October sky

  

I guess I don't mind October. It's usually "seasonably" warm, and we get some sunny days with fall-blue skies that you don't see any other time of year. This October has seemed a bit rainy, though, and the warm, sun-filled days have seemed few and far between. Yesterday we had one and Kevin, Oliver and I got out into the garden to dig up the last of the beets and carrots. It felt wonderful to be out of doors. But, the recent windy rains have stripped much of the color from the trees and the grey skies we've had look like November to me. I'm sorry I can't enjoy you more, October. But, you're just far too close to winter.
