October Color

A ten-minute walk around the block tonight to take a few pictures.  Snow flurries swirled and stuck to my chest this morning as I walked, but tonight, post-flurries and then rain, it's cold but calm. 

The neighbors' gardens still show spots of color, although not many houses have pumpkins on their porches yet. 

This may be the fall I finally carve a cat jack o-lantern for our front stoop.  I have yet to live anywhere that gets trick-or-treaters--none of the houses I grew up in ever got more than a few, nor have any of my apartments--so the decorate-your-home-and-stock-up-on-candy parts of this month never really factor in when I think of October to-dos.  Maybe a big cat pumpkin for out front this year, though, just to add a bit of sweetness to the neighborhood. 

Ah, fall!  May Heaven turn out to be an eternal autumn.  I love it so. 

I also love the shade of green these neighbors have painted their garage door.  It actually looks a lot like our bathroom walls now.  

So much gorgeous, vibrant color.  Love, love, love.  ♥
