| October is the month that heralds the coming of Winter ...when the fading heat of summer lingers one last time in the pleasant light of shortening days, before being driven from the field by the chill winds of night; ...when the receding Sun's blasting presence first acts as counterpoint to the enveloping chill; ...when shades, once sources of solace during summer's oppression, instead harbor the cold; ...when trees start to decide their leaves are just not worth the effort anymore; ...when the first box of sweaters makes its way from the closet to the drawer; ...when ferris wheels and their carnivals spring up across the countryside in celebration of the year's harvest; ...when every weekend is a homecoming weekend; ...and when cinnamon and nutmeg become a worthy match for the season. |
