Autumn Leaves Are Starting To Fall...

It is October…already…how did that happen so quickly? Soon the sound of sleigh bells will be dancing in the air. Don’t think anyone is ready for that just yet!

Did you know that October was the eighth month in the original Roman 10 month calendar? Then Julius Caesar expanded the calendar adding January and February to the mix, and October was moved to 10th place. If October was playing sports today, we would have given it a recognition ribbon.
