October Morning

Today, no cockerel crowed to start my day, but I did awake to a clear, cooler, sunny morning. The newly seeded grass is soaking up the night time dew.......and the little sprinkling I gave it last evening. The brilliant green of tiny new blades, so beautiful. The new coolness in the air refreshes the spirit and energizes the body. Soon the mosquitoes will disappear and I can get out and work in the garden again. Lots of work ahead........Autumn is a busy season. Aren't they all in their own way?

Welcome beautiful October. Month of my birth. Time of the year I enjoy most. This October will mark my forty seventh year in this amazing country. I will celebrate by heading to the North Carolina mountains soon, where I'll meet some special blogging friends, and just enjoy the beauty of Nature dressed for Autumn.
