October

Autumn is my favorite season. Of all the fall season October is my favorite month. It has two awesome holidays, Thanksgiving (Canada) and Halloween. The trees change colour, dropping a wide array of red, gold, and orange leaves (as well as any and all colours between) to the ground to be caught up and played with by the wind. The weather is clean and crisp, fresh and bright.
Today was a perfect example. The sky was strewn with light cloud cover, the sun hiding shyly but close enough to impart some pale warmth. The air was clean and washed fresh by the rains last night. The wind was brisk and danced with the leaves in beautiful displays of alternating gentleness and quick aggression.
This is my favorite part of the season. Everything is clear and fresh, the last burst of strength and beauty before winter's death.
