October Days
There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on and produce so pleasant effect on the feelings, as now in October. (Nathaniel Hawthorne, 19th century American novelist and poet)
Midway through the fall season, we can appreciate Hawthorn’s comment, although not every day is necessarily as pleasant as he envisions them. For sports fans, it’s the end of baseball and time for football and anticipating basketball. For others, a stroll outdoors in the milder temperatures among the multi-colored leaves brings joy. This month, we have much to be thankful for.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
