All month, I have been celebrating October. It is my favorite month for a number of reasons, the first of which is Fall! A season that brings back scents and sights that have raised my spirits every year at this time.
Plus…it comes after a long hot summer.
Also…not a minor point, of course; it is my son Brett’s birthday month…and mine.
Today I’m sharing a visual homage to the month, starting with my granddaughter Aubrey and a friend, enjoying stalks of corn…almost as if they are in a horror movie. Or just a movie about fall, from the Hallmark Channel.

Then we see my other granddaughter, Fiona, with a friend…both have shaved their heads…and are enjoying the pumpkins.

Fall comes to my interiors, starting with this tablescape of pumpkins…

A witch is stirring up a cauldron of spookiness on my little side table:

October is a great month to enjoy a loaded potato, a martini, and a good book:

North of here, my grand-niece Margaret is enjoying her first day of daycare when Mommy returns to work. She looks happy, right?
***
Right after October comes November…and another family gathering. This one is from last year. A lot has changed since then. Fiona and Dominic both have new partners…And Fiona now has less hair.
***
So…what are you showcasing today? I’m connecting this one to West Metro Mommy Reads, on Saturday.
