It’s
Already October!
I can hardly believe it, especially today with the very warm humid weather that feels more like an August day than the first day of October.
The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is all decorated with signs of the season including pumpkins, gourds, scarecrows, and more. It’s great fun to wander around and see all of the displays in the gardens. So today, I’m just sharing a few photos from my walk there last week.
October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!

Anne reveled in the world of color about her.
“Oh, Marilla,” she exclaimed one Saturday morning, coming dancing in with her arms full of gorgeous boughs, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn’t it? Look at these maple branches. Don’t they give you a thrill—several thrills?”

This tree must be falling for me, as soon as I sat under it, it dropped its leaves.
Oh sweet October!

I remember it as October days are always remembered, cloudless, maple-flavored, the air gold and so clean it quivers.

October had tremendous possibility. The summer’s oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised a world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles.

Ah, Lovely October, as you usher in the season that awakens my soul, your awesome beauty compels my spirit to soar like an leaf caught in an autumn breeze and my heart to sing like a heavenly choir.

May you walk in beauty.
