Unlike much of Australia, where I live, we get four distinct seasons, and I love each one of them. October is the first real hint of summer - days you can wear t-shirts and feel the warmth on your skin; days you can breathe the warm dry smell of the eucalypts - but not so hot you're looking over your shoulder for smoke from bushfires.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your October ;-)Bronwyn Parryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987772491981857089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1128218134786056402005-10-01T20:55:00.000-05:002005-10-01T20:55:00.000-05:00Oh, Elizabeth, my mom LOVES pumpkin lattes at Star...Oh, Elizabeth, my mom LOVES pumpkin lattes at Starbucks!

I love the change of seasons, all the pumpkin stuff that starts appearing like the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. Even though the days are shorter, October means that I have a few short months to get cracking on writing a new book or books.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1128205763981100192005-10-01T17:29:00.000-05:002005-10-01T17:29:00.000-05:00Thanks, Bonnie, Peggy, JoAnn and Colleen!!

My ancestors pretty much spent the whole month in celebration (Oktoberfest, anyone?), so this is a natural thing, I think. Mar, I am running out to get Martha's magazine as we speak. I LOVE THAT COVER! October justs feels right to me...I seem to fit in with the flow of the seasons at last, as if I've finally caught up with myself. All Hallow's is one of my favorite times of the year, and that's a big focus during this month. I've already decorated my house in fall leaves and harvest themes, and tomorrow...out come the pumpkins! Hurrah! I also build an ancestor altar during the month of October, to honor my loved ones who have passed. It is a special time of remembrance, and I feel very close to them during this month. What can I say...for so many reasons, bring on the October.<BR/><BR/>In frith,<BR/>JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1128179542597633822005-10-01T10:12:00.000-05:002005-10-01T10:12:00.000-05:00LOL Mary, I just did a little post about why I lov...LOL Mary, I just did a little post about why I love October too.
