Dear October

I have struggled to appreciate you. The end of summer. So confused in the garden. Do I water, don’t I water? The leaves are falling off anyway. It’s starting to get cold out. Yes, the leaves are beautiful, but I tend to like pink and green more than the oranges and reds. This year as you slip away into November, I’m going to appreciate you. Many of my friends absolutely love the crispness in the air you bring, and the colorful leaves they enjoy. The coming of the holiday season. I appreciate the reminder of renewal, the rest that is coming. Blessings to you October!
