You bet I do, Ms. Jenna.

Here is my favorite Thoreau quotation from "Autumnal Tints:"

"October is the month of painted leaves. Their rich glow now flashes round the world. As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year near its setting. October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight."

I have a mug with those lines in a facsimile of Thoreau's handwriting that I bought at Walden Pond in 2001. It's about time to break it out, I guess:)

Yeah, this is the time of year that I miss Massachusetts the most (next is winter, which I loved there). I miss my little home on the shore in Quincy.
