A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.


October

October is the month for painted leaves…. As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year near its setting. October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight. ~Henry David Thoreau, “Autumnal Tints”

  1. Autumn and spring are my favorite times of the year. I’m heading up to NH to see the leaf turnings this month. Can’t wait! 😊

        1. Maybe you will see some color, as a good part of the state still hasn’t completely changed.
