October, the month of gloomy moods that falls between Summer and the hectic holiday season to come that runs through New Year’s Day. I never liked this month of the year for some reason.Maybe that’s why we came up with Oktoberfest,…. to distract us. ;-)

Katy should read an article in last month’s Reader’s Digest about a miniature horse (which is different from a pony, I think) named Magic who is employed as a therapy animal in hospitals, nursing homes, etc.

At one assisted-living facility, her head on a woman’s lap actually made the woman speak for the first time in the three years she was there!

It’s a very touching story, which could be used as an excuse for Katy getting a pony—if that ruse hasn’t already been used!!

October in SoCal means Santa Ana winds, which come roaring out of the east at 50-100 mph, sucking the humidity down to single digits and the temperatures up to triple digits, and causing the wildlands to explode into flame. Forget pumpkin spice … the smell of October in SoCal is a brushfire. (fyi—I hate October)

October is tick month.

I love the “ber” months. They signal the end of the heat and humidity of south Georgia.

Let the candy glut of 2021 begin. We earned it.

I love October!

All Hail Halloween……

I’m at the age where I’d rather think of pumpkin pie and colorful leaves. Halloween was fun when the kids were young or when I was young for that matter.

You’re never to old to play dress-up. The exception is “Sexy” anything.

Our local Walmart has skipped Halloween and Thanksgiving and has gone straight to Christmas!
