[day 210-234: hello october!]

october is one of my very favorite months...
let me tell you.
it looks like someone has gone through the wilderness
and hand-painted every
single
leaf.
it's absolutely breathtaking.

october makes me think of
the smell of morning
and apple cider
and leaves.

it makes me think of
pumpkin soup
and grandma's house
and raking leaves
and perfect days
and cool mornings.

i think of scarves
and boots
and jackets
and cute gloves
where my fingers stick out of the ends

i think of chilly noses
and getting cosy
and pumpkins.

i love everything about october...
including halloween!
it is the one holiday where
everyone
is encouraged to be something
that they aren't...
which is so much fun!

i remember when i was little,
i would start planning my
halloween
costume
the week after my birthday.
aaah i was always so excited!!
and to this day,
though i may be 20,
i start looking at costume options
before october even starts.

hello october!
it is lovely to have you...
i hope we get to enjoy
every
single
day
of you.
