My memories of October in New York and Oregon were highlighted by zillions of leaves falling from maple trees and then having to rake them and bag them. I also remember the many children preparing their Halloween costume, which I always tried to balance by introducing a parade of saints, with children dressed up as saints and being introduced in church. Then there was the custom of picking a pumpkin, with children and teenagers going to a farms to pick their own pumpkin which they would carve at home.
There were hay-rides for the younger children as well as mazes, scarecrows, gourd-picking, and all kids of attractions to welcome the Fall season. These two photos show two of the fields decorated to attract visitors as pumpkins gracefully clutter, or should I say, decorate every corner.
