and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!"
Humbert Wolfe
I love October. It means so much to me, all crisp and startling as it is.
The cemetery tour was on the 1st of October this year, and the temperature dropped radically just before we were to start giving tours, which made it even better (except that Josh's knee socks kept sliding down, making his knees freeze {perils of 18th century clothing}). So, with our pumpkin spice lattes in hand, with our knees and shoulders freezing, and with the stars winking above, we led groups of people through the candle-lit cemetery for the 7th or 8th year in a row. It was so lovely, even if I saw zero shooting stars and Josh saw 5 or 6.
