The month of October is always one of my favorite months! Although it is the time of the year when the weather starts to get colder and summer is officially gone and past, it still has good things about it though. In October, you can really see how the leaves begin to change. The weather is also not too hot and not too cold. The fall is filled with so many noises of birds, leaves crinkling below your feet and not to mention that Halloween comes with October too.
When October comes it truly feels like fall. You see the first leaves change from their original green color, to every shape of red, green, and yellow. Fall is a happy time and filled with wonderful colors and smells of fresh air. I recently went up to park city and the colors of the trees up there have already begun to change colors. I also noticed that the leaves were already starting the decent to the ground. Not to mention that when the leaves change, so does the air around us.
When fall comes, the air starts to cool down dramatically. The days are shorter, which means less sunlight for us. Because of this annual thing, the air cools and the leaves change color. In the fall we also get to harvest our food that we have been growing all year long. For our family October is a special month because we get to harvest our giant pumpkins. You may be wondering what I mean by giant pumpkins. Every year our family grows pumpkins that grow to be over 1000 pounds! They aren’t any regular pumpkins.
With October also come the wonderful sounds of nature. You are presented with the sounds of crinkling leaves beneath your feet as you walk across the grass. You hear the birds chirp and the dogs howl. When you get closer to Halloween you hear even different sounds. You hear the werewolves and the myths. You hear the vampires, and the howling wind with every different scary story. Then on Halloween nights you hear all the kids go around as the trick or treat.
We have a special Halloween tradition that we do every year. We always carve our giant pumpkins in many different creative ways. Sometimes we have competitions to see who can come up with the best new idea for the pumpkins to be carved into. Whoever wins gets to participate in carving the magnificent vegetable. We always have our traditional pumpkin pie too.
As you can see October is a very special time of the year. So much changes in just this month, almost more than any other month. October is very beautiful with all the colors and all the sounds. Fall is the season when the leaves change, and so does the air. I am very excited for the rest of this month and how it will turn out. I know it will be amazing like always. I hope that you can see the beauty in the world this October!
