The leaf colours this year have been amazing!
Fortunately, there is a huge maple tree in the back yard which provides a glimpse of the changing seasons all year round.
These days, in October, it is providing a free light source as it shines through windows, a couple of upstairs windows plus the kitchen and dining room.
If these golden leaves stayed on the tree for a month or two, would it lower the cost of hydro for home? Just wondrin’! 🙂
Autumn 2015 might go down in history as a revival of Blue Jay bliss year! Playoff hope is in the air & optimism reigns, even as the beleaguered Toronto Maple Leafs start a new season in the NHL with an opening match against their traditional Montreal Canadiens rivals! 🙂
Me, I’m happy for the Jays but also ecstatic that this middle of the work week day  is one of those milder than usual October days when the colour of autumn is peaking!
Also, it happens to be a special day to celebrate poetry!
The moon will be aligned at night with a couple of planets and this community is ready to celebrate Oktoberfest!
How sweet that so many good things come together!
Wrote a small haiku to celebrate the day and one of my favourite parts of the universe — birch trees!
