hello october, thanks for stopping by
I love when it’s cloudy and gray and the birds are still singing. I love when you can hear the chill in the air, by the way it blows in through your window and then leaves a shivery reminder upon your skin. It’s finally October, and it’s finally fall, and I finally get to wear socks and sweaters. No more humidity, no more blazing heat. Halloween decorations line front lawns: evil faced pumpkins, gravestones, ghosts, and undead hands clawing their way out of the earth. The stores are filling up with candy. Christmas decorations are already popping up all over the place too, and it’s never too early for that sort of thing. Once October hits it’s perfectly okay to obsess over Christmas like it’s December. I’m still hoping that I’ll one day have my White Christmas. I’ve been dreaming about it for years, hoping to watch giant, fluffy snowflakes fall from the sky at the stroke of midnight. Hoping to wake up in the morning to a Winter Wonderland. Who cares if I'm "Jewish". It’s raining now, cloudy, gray, and rainy. The perfect October afternoon.
