Welcome, October



I love October!
I always want to celebrate Autumn more than any other season. It is a comforting month, the last warm-enough days before winter. It is the month of Nathan's birthday, so we will do what we can to build up the excitement to the 28th.

I am looking forward to the Fall foods, the soups, apples, squashes. Perhaps we will go to a pumpkin farm this year, and maybe we can have a bonfire? I will wear sweaters and boots as often as I can, and carry along my scarf and umbrella. When the air is not crisp, it is moist. The sky has turned a puddle kind of color, but the Autumn moon is at its best. October is a Schiele kind of month. Where are my green stockings?

Please join us for squash soup! We're wasting the last days of fall for a trip to the frozen north country. At least it will be warm in the Bláa Lónið.

The pumpkin farm is on my schedule as usual later this month, as usual. Remember the puppies and kittens there?

Love, MOM
