Why, October? Well, October represents for me a certain calming down--a certain tranquility. There's a sleepy, dreaminess about the month that says it's now okay to slow the pace. With the frantic nature of Summer finally gone, October says, let us sit back and observe. It marks a time for cuddling under a warm blanket with a piping cup of hot cocoa. It's the start of Harvest Season, colorful leaves, and pumpkin lattes. It's the rich smell of cinnamon, praline, and pie scented candles. October is scarecrow men and bails of hay. It's lazy Saturday evening strolls in the crisp, cool air. It's settling down with a good bowl of hearty stew in front of the fireplace with your loved ones. October is costumes and excited kids in search of treats. October ushers in the holiday season. October is.....October. What more could one want?
Not Just About October....... Even though this site is in the spirit of "that October feeling", this isn't just a site about Fall, October, or Halloween. It's about many things--good food, good books, cool fashion, motivation, travel, holidays, and more. It's a place to stop for a daily dose of positivity and relaxation. So welcome! I hope you drop by often and come away with that relaxed, cozy, pumpkin pie feeling--that lies at the heart of October.
