I want to do it all ... everything and anything associated with the fine month of October, I want to do it! And, I know I'm not alone in this sentiment. Judging by the parking lot at our local orchard, October fever has struck big time! All it takes is one chilly breeze plus a flutter of leaves sweeping across the road and it's go time!
The minute I tacked up the new calendar page, the excitement was unleashed in a series of must dos. I want to pick pumpkins and apples ...
bake a pie, drink apple cider, drink pumpkin ale or anything labeled with word "fest", visit a pumpkin patch, ride a hayride, make a scarecrow ...
.... climb a giant hay stack ...
... eat pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, eat a pumpkin pie, eat anything orange in color, eat candy corn, go on a nature walk, wear cozy clothes, collect leaves, rake up piles of leaves and jump into them ....
... oh the leave peeping! ... (Did I mention my birthday? Maybe that's why I'm so biased. Mark your calendars with a big orange circle around the 15th :-)
And, don't get me started about Halloween. Candy! Chocolate candy! I want to wear orange and black, wear silly Halloween shirts, watch Celebrity Ghost Stories, watch scary movies, visit a haunted house, buy costumes, carve a jack-o-lantern ...
Well, I'd better get started on everything here plus few I may have forgotten to mention before these short 31 days are a mere memory. Not to mention that my next novel is set partially at an apple orchard in the Fall. I better take notes and get back to writing.
