October

Well, first of all, for those of you who don't know, October is the coolest month ever. The main reason for this is the obvious: my birthday is on the 20th and my best friend's was on the third. So basically, its like a party month with fall break thrown in, which is pretty great if you ask me.

But, I love fall. It's the time of change, which can sometimes be unwanted because that means that school is in, but it's usually much-needed. The cooler temperatures inspire warmer attire which means sweaters (jonny :D), jeans, hats, scarves, and boots. Along with Friday night football games, there are blankets and fires and books to read and hot chocolate (yay!) to drink. Seriously, I cannot think of better ways to spend my time than huddled with my friends and family just chilling and playing games in autumn.

Perhaps the best thing about October and fall in general is the way the leaves turn color. From the vibrant green of summers gone to the fiery colors of fall. It's times like these when I wish I was an artist because then I would spend my entire days sitting in the field by my house just painting the view of the ever-changing trees. Their hues are so bright, so magnificent that it seems a shame to only be able to enjoy them for mere moments. Sunset is probably my favorite time of day during this season. The warm light slanting across this beautiful landscape melts my heart and makes me so happy to have lived to see another day.

SIDENOTE: Did you know that there is even a piece of music entitled, "October"? Yes, that is how truly amazing this month is :).
