"It's a marvelous night for a moondance..."

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird, I will would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." --George Eliot

It is the first day of the best month of the year. October, to me, is the most inspiring month. I love the colors and the smell of dry leaves blowing around my feet. I guess, if I'm honest, autumn is all about death, but I hope I go out in as much style as canyon aspens. The mountains are definitely showing off this year, and I can't get enough.

And we're one step closer to Christmas. I've never looked more forward to the holidays, and I know this year is going to be wonderful. I'm anxious to see what the new year brings and just what I'll learn in the coming months. I'm preparing myself to be as open as possible. And as hopeful as possible. My cup is still half-full...in fact, it "floweth over."

October IS the best month around :) Have fun with Steph this weekend - miss you both soooo much. And please, if you are going to harass a turkey, make sure you do a little chicken harassment, too - just for me. I hate chickens - they are dirty, awful animals. You are too marvelous for words, my dear! Come visit me soon, and enjoy the New England foliage!

I found a great quote that I thought you would enjoy. Not only for it's beautiful meaning and because you are an english teacher, but because it describes exactly how much you really love Fall.

"Fall is a second spring where every leaf is a flower."
