Tri -Valley SIR 34 October Newsletter
October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again. Hal Borland
In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October. Alexander Smith
October had the tremendous possibility. The summer's oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised the world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles. Sarah Guillory
October was always the least dependable of months ... full of ghosts and shadows. Joy Fielding
