placed 5th in Regina McIntosh's October's Story Contest, November 19, 2023

************************************************************************

Fall's tapestry of red and gold, as scheduled, always will unfold. Still, I am dazzled and surprised October holds me mesmerized. The color riot on display of mums and pumpkins perched on hay is Autumn's message dramatized. October holds me mesmerized. An extra blanket for the bed, not t's, but flannel shirts instead~~ the need for these can be surmised. October holds me mesmerized. Cute costumed kids collect their treats. Their night of fun, the month completes, and once again I've realized October holds me mesmerized.

Hi Janice, a very musical and creative poem on the autumnal gifts of October. I think my grandchildren may need to wear their winter coats over their costumes next week. We usually have mild temperatures during the day in October with chilly nights until it gets colder in November. But we went from September's lukewarm temperatures to November's cold early this fall, brrrr! Time for more cocoa. ~

Thanks so much, Regina! Here in Mississippi, we are having a heavenly early fall~~cool nights but mild, warm, breezy afternoons!
