I love October so much – all the hand-knits come out, the weather is just right for layering wool and jeans and boots to play outside. It’s cool enough for the best easy crockpot meals and stews and I no longer have to plan what to make for dinner that doesn’t involve turning my oven on while it’s 90 degrees in the house. There is thinking ahead to Christmas gifts and crafting in preparation, and the air outside just smells so wonderful – cool and smoky, earthy from fallen leaves and rain, and something else I can’t articulate. October feels like a month of change and growth, preparations and looking forward, even more so than new year’s or spring does to me.
