"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 brow."

"The sweet calm sunshine of October, now warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold the purOple oak - leaf falls; the birches bough drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold."
~Wilborn Cullen Bryant~
"October gave a party; the leaves by the hundreds came - the Chestnut, Oakes, 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.

Such beautiful verses - we are enjoying showers of autumn leaves in these days. :)
Have a happy and blessed new month, dear Madeline!
Thank you Sara. The leave are falling here also.
I loved the poetry, especially the one by George Cooper. It was 94 degrees here, it will be in the 70's by Friday. I enjoy an October that has lots of days in the 60's and 70's, I hope this October will be like that. A lot of leaves here have just fallen off from the heat I suppose. The only trees I see nearby that have just started change a little bit are sycamores, (or cottonwoods) I can't tell from a distance.
Thank you Susie. It has been in the 90's here but the weather man says it will cool down come this weekend, we also have leaves that have fallen because of the heat.
