The ground is covered with October's finish. Most of the leaves have fallen. Bare limbs and branches have shed their cloaks of color.
They will remain naked waiting for spring's return. There is a definite chill in the air.
The sun is setting much earlier now.
Seasons come and go. Each one brings its own special gifts.
Time to cozy up with a crunchy apple, a great novel, and a warm quilt. Soon the smell of a wood fire will fill the house with a lovely scent.
Hot Cider bubbling on the stove with a cinnamon stick invites one to slow down and savor this quieter time of the year.
Before we know it Thanksgiving will be here.
In the meantime I am wishing everyone a delightful October finish. God Bless!
