We have such nice autumn days in Oklahoma. It has only been
below freezing for a couple of nights. It lulls a person into
thinking that winter will never come. It was 76 yesterday.

My yard is covered with leaves. I raked up a few yesterday
but have been too busy to really attack the yard. None of
them come from my tree. I always love to walk in the woods
and feel the crunchiness of the leaves under my feet. This
all too brief season of the year is my favorite and I love
to spend time in the country, taking Rex and letting him
run to his hearts content.

We always have our family reunions in the fall. This year,we had to delay it until Thanksgiving because of various ailments but the best time is around the first of October. October
is lovely with pumpkins and Halloween and golden days.

I think the October of ones life would be those years between
55 and 65. That is the very best time to be alive. Relish
that decade and don't put off anything while you are still
young and healthy.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
