Welcome to the Highlights of October

Welcome to October, the tenth month in the calendar year that offers much to celebrate for everyone,

With Mother Nature’s palette, laden with hues of bright yellow, burnt orange and deep red, creates its own foliage covering trees and bushes so artistically done.

And moving on we celebrate the holiday of Halloween,

a royal occasion where you can choose to dress as a king or a queen,

or entertain at a party as the hostess or the host,

with your guests depicting goblins, skeletons or even a ghost.

Again, Mother Nature’s Halloween backdrop adorns empty looking trees,

standing tall and scary resembling skeletal forms without any leaves.

Which is not a distraction from a trick-or-treater’s making a win

while collecting goodies that would move on into a candy bin.

We welcome the highlights of October’s festivities when they unfold,

for it Is indeed a glorious time to behold.

Happy Foliage and Happy Halloween!
