We had a violent wind and rain storm Wednesday night which caused many colored leaves to come down before their time, along with quite a few branches; so I went outside to get some sunshine and fresh air.
I started out wearing crocs because I expected the ground to be wet, but it wasn't. And, as I worked to pick up the sticks, I got warmed up enough to shed my sweater and shoes. There were no clouds. That's what October usually is around here - bright colors, sunshine and days made for being outside.
The blue and gold perfection of October makes up for whatever was less than ideal about summer. If only it would last a little longer.
I love that last picture, and yes, I wish fall were longer too. Fall and spring always seem the shortest seasons.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful fall is really more like an extension of summer to me.
DeleteA beautiful day! What lovely pictures you have taken!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clare!
DeleteOh it does look lovely where you live Lisa.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tracy! I am sorry about the drought where you live.
DeleteTo be 31 days long, October goes by in a brilliant flash. And the blue and gold is so pretty. Every year. Glad you are getting out and enjoying it, Lisa!
