It's that time of year again; you can just feel that Autumn is on its way. The nights are falling upon us as they start to come earlier each week. The leaves on the trees start to turn into their most magnificent shades of red, orange, and brown. Once you step outside and feel the crisp cool air, you know it's time to start bundling up in your favorite scarf and gloves. And when you start your walk around town, you hear that pleasing crunch sound as you step on the leaves that have blown off the trees and then covered the sidewalks. You know it's the month of October when you see the cheerful orange pumpkins for sale in the market. A favorite of most during the month is to curl up on your favorite couch with a good book and a hot cup of tea.
During the month of October, we get prepared for a wonderful festive season that involves treats, spices, decorating, costumes, and of course pumpkins!
