Why I Love October

Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

Not everyone is fortunate to live in an area where the leaves change colors and nature becomes a living kaleidoscope.  As I drove to the cottage the other day, I decided I had to take a few photos to show the rest of you what you might be missing out on...

I also decided I would take photos of our back yard throughout the month of October so you'll be able to watch our leaves change as we do.  This one is looking towards the pond...

And here we're looking straight one...

It'll be interesting to see what our yard will look like by October 31.  Please stay tuned.
