SEPTEMBER IS GONE, OCTOBER IS HERE

September is gone and October is here. It is in the air and the clouds and the trees. Planning for a genealogical event for Xmas ye best get crackin. Align those pictures and charts up right and present them that night. Turkey for Thanksgiving or another bird, maybe a goose or a duck. Cost of groceries has risen, our weekly bill is nearly double. Plan your menu's wisely and still enjoy these coming days. Thinking more in season fruit and vegtables, for the table. That spooky day is upon us. Dad called it Begger's Day. We could attend parties but we did not go begging. Does your family ever mention what they did in their youth on this day? Many talk of other holidays but this one is like taboo. This event was witches, pumpkins and apple dunking. The time for apple cider is now. Fresh berry pies of many kinds, Pears in salads and in Pies. Sweaters, coats and jackets, no shorts but slacks and long pants. A scarf or wrap some times is best. Hand warmers are coming. Gloves or mittens, I prefer gloves. Thinking of the coming days, how about you.
