“I remember it as October days are always remembered, cloudless, maple-flavored, the air gold and so clean it quivers.”
― Leif Enger, Peace Like a River

“October had tremendous possibility. The summer’s oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised a world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles.” ― Sarah Guillory, Reclaimed
“This tree must be falling for me, as soon as I sat under it, it dropped its leaves.
Oh sweet October!” ― Charmaine J Forde
“What the light looks like in the pear trees, in October, is a hundred teardrops of gold, the whole orchard weeping.”
― Carole Maso, The Art Lover
“the fallen leaves in the forest seemed to make even the ground glow and burn with light” ― Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry To Gabriola
“This is October for me: Withdrawing into my own world, blocking out everything except the beauty of the season, my reflections and my relationship with God, I find that this is enough to sustain me through the long, cold, winter – and beyond…” ― Peggy Toney Horton, Somewhere in Heaven My Mother Is Smiling
“October’s Party
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came –
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.”
― George Cooper
Stay healthy.
Stay safe.
Keep smiling.
See the world around you!

The quote from “The Art Lover” piqued my interest. Have you read the book? It appears it pioneered a type of novel publishing, ‘photo embedded fiction’. Yep, I googled it!

I also love the quote, especially since I have a pear tree. I used to have 2 pear trees but lost one when the well was dug. I have never heard of ‘The Art Lover’, but now I am intrigued! Off to Google I go! 🙂

It’s on mine, too – but so far not easily found. I just checked out the only book here in the entire SC lends library system by her: Ava. So I had to push myself, too! It must be a Laura thing!
