Blue October Skies!

O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather


Helen Hunt Jackson, "October's Bright Blue Weather"

Last year I posted on the 28th of October about a<b> hike </font></b>at Asylum lake, and a friend was reminded of this poem.

    We have the same in western Montana. Absolutely glorious, brilliant blue skies, golden hues, flowers still blooming in the yard, and 78 degrees. Heavenly hiking weather!
It was a magnificent day. All the superlatives seem bland in trying to describe it. Thanks for coming! I hope to see you back again!

    Some great photos. I don't know which month has the best colors but I was born in June and my sister and Grandmother in October so there is that LOL
Well, the view of you from where I'm sitting is quite pleasant. June is giving October a run for its money. And I'll see your wink and raise you a hug.

    That's beautiful country! I hope your baggin' Gracie's poop.
Yes, and no. We bag her contributions if she leaves one on the trail, or on a paved walk, but Gracie is as discreet a dog as I have ever had in picking a place to recycle. She will run to the farthest, hardest to get place in the yard or along the trails to make a deposit. So we let Jesus deal with it.

The coming week or the next after will be peak around here. It can come later. We'll see. But it's really pretty right now! Asylum Lake is heavy with oak, so the color there will come a bit later and stay longer. The scarlet oaks there are wonderful when they change.

It is. There's beauty everywhere though. You just have to look for it.

    So when they ask What Would Jesus Do?, they mean, when he's NOT picking up dog poop?
He doesn't pick it up. He points at it and turns it into chat room cake.

Mine too. Most of the worst biting and stinging insects are gone, or going when it gets cool at night, and the sun is still warm and bright. There were a couple of yellowjackets on my pickup window yesterday when we headed out to the lake. When I opened the door they just dropped off, too weak to fly. I stood gloating for a while and thought about mocking them, but I collected myself and allowed the better angels of my nature take control. I moved smugly on.

Maybe me. They might have thought I was one of them, and hiding carrion.
It's hard to say what- they're pretty sharp eyed and don't waste energy, so they were floating effortlessly and looking. I didn't see any of them come to earth.
