hello, October

Hello, October. You dawned with a golden glow of lavender lighting up the cloudy sky. A tiny, short-lived celebration.

You promise more colorful trees and crunchy leaves beneath my feet.

There will be pumpkins and soup and fresh baked bread. I'm pulling out my sweaters and fuzzy socks and dreaming of taking long, hot soaks in the bathtub. I'm ready for bundling up to explore and discover your beauty and your mysteries, but I'm also looking forward to snuggling up inside and taking time for quiet and renewal.

Lovely October, I hope your days will be long and full.
