The best month

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. 

- Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery


October is my absolute favorite month of the year. I love the crisp mornings and often sunny (with occasional rainy) days. I love being warm and toasty in cozy socks, slippers, a robe, by a lot candle, holding a warm drink. I love seeing the leaves and feeling the seasons change before us.  


Mushrooms in the Arcata forest (I'm not a forager) on a recent walk with Karen.





Pumpkin carving (here’s the robe)





I love the ending of "fall" soccer and the conclusion of the first part of the school year, as well as the calm-before-the-holiday storm of holidays and "festive stress," which I feel and tend to blog about every year. 

I wish October could last forever!
