October is closing and we are all waiting.
The pumpkins are aging and waiting to be bought or carved. My girls are wearing their faerie costumes and waiting for a bag of chocolate. The soil seems to be waiting for the rain here in the dry southwest. I am waiting to fall back.
Waiting to buy the turkey. Waiting for the nation to decide on a leader. Waiting for the first grade pilgrim party.
We are all waiting for the next month, the next calendar page. The month of thanking and earlier sunsets.
Thank you, October, for summer-like nights and trips to the apple farms; for eastern autumn colors and western sunsets. Thank you for closing up shop and bringing in November.
Is it too early to yoink the severed heads off of my nieghbors lawn and replace them with smiling turkeys?? I really, really can’t wait…
Beautiful post for a beautiful month!
Your daughter is precious btw!
I still have three large pumpkins in the back of my car.
SARAH! WHY do I have three large pumpkins still in the back of my car???
This eastern color rush is waving at your western sunset…
