Ten Things I Love About October

If I had to pick a favorite month of the year, I would choose October.  The weather is good, the beauty of Autumn is hitting full stride.  And for me personally, I feel like October is when I finally settle back into a comfortable rhythm.

So to celebrate all of the good things about this month, here are ten things in particular that I love about October.

  1. The sound of acorns hitting the ground
  2. Technicolor leaves
  3. The first pot of soup of the season
  4. Long-sleeved t-shirts
  5. Squirrels scampering around from tree to tree gathering nuts for the winter
  6. The way leaves dance, twirl, and float as they fall
  7. Monarch butterflies
  8. The sweet ‘faces’ of pansies
  9. Sleeping with the window open
  10. Golden, magical afternoon light.

For all of these things and more, thank you October.

    I loved the Anne of Green Gables books! Great quote from Anne!

    YES to all these! It’s been so beautiful where I live the past couple of weeks. As much as I whine about Midwest winters, I love that we get to experience all 4 seasons as they should be. Beautiful photos as always <3

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
