“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.”
– Nathaniel Hawthorne
Today, simple autumn pre-Thanksgiving things: a trip to the Farmer’s Market, baking pies, harvesting green beans, knitting, listening to music, anticipating.

Beautiful. This is my favorite season of the year.
It is beautiful isn’t it, Lucinda. The season of gratitude.
