It really is October

[lizziebelle]

I've been trying to get outside as much as possible, while the trees are in their autumn glory. Yesterday, I went to the Assabet wildlife refuge for a very long walk through the woods and marshes. About halfway through my walk, I suddenly heard what sounded exactly like machine gun fire. It was quite jarring, to say the least. I go to the woods for the peace and quiet! On the way home, I saw the sign for the WWII battle reenactment, and felt relief that we hadn't been invaded, and the zombies weren't coming.

Today, I went over to Gates Pond, which is where I took the above pic. Although there were many dogs, some of which were barking, it was much more peaceful than the sounds of battle.

I spent the afternoon baking beer cheese bread, and ginger shortbread. Looking forward to dinner, when they will be the accompaniments to Guinness beef stew. I love October!

beer+cheese+bread - I'm not sure there could be anything more awesome than that :)

I love autumn.

It was pretty darned awesome. :)

I do too! So pretty, yet so melancholy.

Look at those colours! So beautiful.

We are deep in murk and gloom here at the moment & it's hard to imagine we're going to have much of an autumn display this year...

It hasn't been very sunny here, but the colors are much better than they were last year.
