WELCOME THE MONTH OF OCTOBER

"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October."  ~Nathaniel Hawthorne~


"October's the month when the smallest breeze gives us a shower of autumn leaves, bonfires and pumpkins, leaves sailing down - October is red and golden and brown."
~Author Unknown~


"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~

The picture of the Autmum leaves is exactly what I need to see. No leaves turning as yet. Just looking a wee droopy. I long for the changing of the seasons and here it is still nearly as hot as it was this summer. Tomorrow is predicted to be 93 degree's. It's disappointing. Not a sign of Fall except a cool morning breeze. Thank you for stopping by and leaving me such a dear comments. You cannot know how appreciated it was! I seem to drift from blogging when life begins to happen here at home. I've a large family and things are bound to happen that need my undivided attention.
Love,
Mona

Wonderful verses for Autumn! The leaves around here are just starting to turn on a few trees. The zinnias have been pulled up, chrysanthemums potted up, the last 2 tomatoes picked, and the porch has been painted. It has turned a little cooler around here and I can't believe how much earlier it is starting to get dark.

Happy Autumn!
