October Macedonia

 

“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October”
Nathaniel Hawthorne (American Novelist)
“October, here’s to you. Here’s to the heady aroma of the frost-kissed apples, the wine-y spell of ripened grapes, the wild-as-the-wind smell of hickory nuts and the nostalgic whiff of that first wood smoke”. – Ken Weber
