Anymore, I live for October, for autumn in general. It has finally come, after another horrible, sad year. We had more deaths this week, and cold winds and storms. Some of us have been ripped by hurricanes yet again.
Yet, I see hope in October's golden light. As Barry Manilow's song goes, I hate it when October goes. Halloween is my favorite holiday. And,you it leads up to my other two favorites, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mind you, I don't really celebrate anything any more, just memories of past celebrations. My mom and dad are gone, now. It hurts worse in the fall; we used to go on drives in the country and find fall festivals. My pumpkins came from the country, and we sought out caramel apples and antiques
Fee free to share your fall and Halloween memories in the comments sections. I'm always happy to hear from you.
