October Gave a Party

"October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came-

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band."

- George Cooper, October's Party

"The stillness of October gold went out like beauty from a face"~ Robinson

"Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn." ~Lawrence

What a beautiful fall it has turned out to be.  Around here, the leaves have turned early...we don't usually have this much color for another couple of weeks.  Hard to believe that Monday is November and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it.

Hope everyone has a happy Saturday!
