October Days

“It Was One of Those Fine October Days”

It was one of those fine October days
free from summer’s heat and haze
but not yet gripped by autumn chill.
It was one of those fine October days
when the sky’s so clear
you can see the moon
through the atmosphere
at midday.
It was one of those fine October days
when the trees sport yellow and red
instead of everyday summer green.
It was one of those fine October days
when one draws a deep breath
and is grateful
to be resident on Earth.

-Richard Greene

It certainly was a fine October day.

A bit chillier than it appeared.

The bright sunshine was a welcome and invigorating sight.

Most of the leaves have fallen and soon we’ll be raking the lawn. . .

and then the snowflakes will fall and overstay their welcome.

Hopefully in that order.

I’ve enjoyed the bright afternoon sunshine beaming through the family room window during this time of year.

 

“And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth’. . .”  Genesis 1:14

Happy last days of October,
