It's official - October comes to an end and Halloween once again passes by which is sad, not only because now I have to bring in and put away all the Halloween decorations, but also because I also have leaves to rake, unfinished yard work, windows to winterize, and yeah the list goes on. Also, I had to put my heat on for the first time today - yep, Autumn has fully set in and winter is right around the corner!
However tempting it is just to let each dark evening claim the day and hibernate until warmer days, I have to keep active! So I am looking for snowshoes this year, more hiking, and hopefully some cross-country skiing this winter!
Also though, I can look forward to cozy evenings with my netbook and my stories. Time to put away the "summer excuses" and get writing on a more regular schedule - with hot cocoa of course! Yes - October may feel like another year is slipping past but it's been a great year and during these darker months... well within darkness there is the unknown and with the unknown there are endless possibilities!
Cheers!

Aww. You make autumn sound so dreary. Personally, I love this time of year! Actually, now's when I start making excuses not to write. LOL! You're right about the hot cocoa though.
Hmm... I guess I did make it sound dreary - and it's not so much the season itself because I do love the autumn colors and crunchy leaves and much more, but it was more the mourning of summer passing - because I love the outdoors and though there is still a lot to do outdoors during chilly days - the days are so short!
