October brings shorter days and cooler nights.
October brings blooms in shades of red, yellow and orange.
October brings the fruits of Pecans, Apples and Pumpkins.
October brings the hope of a new spring when planting bulbs.
October brings the beginning of a new season in the garden.

Lovely, Racquel! I’m not usually a fan of orange, but this time of year it’s the perfect color.

Thanks Rose, I love orange all year round but especially at this time of the year. 🙂

A very orange time of year – even leaves get in the act. Not too keen on the shorter days though!

Yep it’s definitely an orange time of year EG. Nope the short days are not my favorite either. 😦
