Ah, October

October... Let me count the ways that I love you.

Fresh Air. Jeans & a hoodie. Not too hot, Not too cold. I can breathe.

Beautiful Trees, turning gold, red, orange. Reminding me of our creators' unrivaled artistry. Crunchy leaves covering my lawn, beckoning my children to play.

Orchards filled with God's bounty. Apples, pumpkins. Warm Doughnuts, hot cider. Children climbing on hay bales. Good friends.

Football games. Homecoming. Parades. School Spirit. Dances. Dressing up. Growing up.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

Halloween. Children deciding what to be, changing their minds. So many choices. Dressing up, trick or treating. Free candy. Pure Joy.

Ah, October. You arrived just time.
