Orange and yellow and brown... oh my!

Wow, do I love October.... I love the colors, the crispness of the air and even the smell of rotting leaves (I know that is pretty gross!) Whenever I see a path on the side of the road or a street that has a canopy of leaves over it leading to a place unknown I have to stifle the urge to pull off and follow where it leads. What is it about this time of year that fills us with wanderlust? I can't answer that - just pondering the question itself is enough to get me unfocused and dreamy. Sigh...
