October 1

 

I love flipping over the calendar to reveal the new month of - October. 

Even though it still feels like summer. It's been in the low 90's but the saving grace is that the early mornings and evenings are cool. 

This is a photo from last year - 

the trees have not changed yet. 

We should start seeing some change by mid to late October. 

Until then I have to fake it - bring in the Fall wreaths, and garland. 

I made this a few years ago - one of my dollar-tree crafts by turning over a wine glass and painting it. Simple. 

I cleaned out my garden window in the kitchen yesterday. 

Tomorrow or sometime this weekend, I want to haul out my Fall decorations. 

I keep procrastinating because it doesn't feel like Fall. 

Washed the window, inside and outside. 

Boy, they were so dirty from the summer of smoke. 

Tomorrow before I haul out my stuff - I want to go to the Manton Apple Festival. 

They were shut down last year. This is my go-to place for ushering in the Fall. Apple pie-eating contests, and many vendors to shop. 

They will host a Fiddlers contest.

 I will have a piece of homemade apple pie and then call it a day. Every other year the weather is cool - sometimes it has even threatened to rain. We'll go when they open, so I can get in that "coolness." I am sick of HOT weather.
