We are only beginning the second week of October but already there are early, early signs of autumn. Here is one of the numerous mushrooms that we've seen on our grounds. Secondly, I had my first day of having to use headlights on the car to go to work in the morning (a very overcast and rainy morning). Third, the local weather report displayed a Fall Foliage graph this weekend. The graph included categories of: None, Slight, Good, Best, Fading and Over. We are currently in the "slight" category, and you can spot isolated yellow and red and orange on bushes and trees. Our "best" is usually around the third week of October. And there are still quite a number of both wine and Halloween events scattered throughout the area this month.
Our guest list for October was just posted and it is long. October is a popular month for family visits, end of the summer retreats, and other activities and nearby events before the holiday months. We have a major visiting time for our oblates, too, during the last weekend of this month. It's nice to see these annual visitors.
Blessings of the final harvest times and the dwindling daylight hours of fall to you!
