Surely there's not much more exciting than the first day of October. Just the sound of the word makes me smile as it conjures up visions of colorful roadside displays and the woods ablaze with color and light. The sun sinks 
lower in the sky just in time to set the trees afire as it streams in and through their branches. I think any life in the tropics, for all its wonderful pluses, is surely bereft at the loss of its glory. The azure waters and pink, creamy sands are a wonder but the heat of the autumn colors sets the world on end and makes us step back in awe at the show
Today we step out into October and there are thirty more days of it ahead. Each one will hold special sights and sounds for us as the East End begins its slow descent into winter. There are wonders ahead for us and as long as we keep our eyes opened and our hearts smiling, we'll enjoy every day of it.

Yes and did you know at this time of year the seaweed makes it way to shore ? In the old days at this time the folks would go to the beach to collect this valuable commidty. It would be dried and used for insulation. If you were to open the walls in some of the old homes down to Napeaugue you would find them filled with it.
We have a hole in the wall at Mulford Farmhouse to show the seaweed - they were smart people our ancestors!
I absolutely LOVE October! The smell of burning leaves (which they still allow here) the brilliant leaves of the maples and sumac, the fabulous light...there's nothing like Fall! Each season offers it's own glories, and to live where we can enjoy all four seasons is a true blessing!
