I had my first kiss sitting on a brick doorstep on an October night 9 years ago.
I got engaged on the side of the North-bound 5 freeway on another October night 3 years ago.
October ushers in the most magical part of the year...Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, being with family...The promise of all these wonderful things lives in the cool, crisp air that finally starts to emerge...
I go for walks, and bright orange pumpkins adorn all the porches in our neighborhood. I can almost taste my mom's chili, served over a bowl of rice on a chilly autumn evening. All of life starts to feel like a Harry Potter novel.
And best of all, pomegranates are in season! What wondrous grace!!!
and it gets cool. I miss going to to WVA in Oct!!!! Remember our trip--when you read Anne of Green Gables to me?
