Dearest October

How you've grown! In every part of the globe you are different, and I will not make the curmudgeon mistake of fitting such a figure into one style of garderobe. As a posh stylish month, you wear every weather and color, and are both hot, and cold, with a scent reminiscent of something on the trail...

No, what distinguishes you, October my dear, is the little people you bring into this world. Every month stamps a certain character on its newborn ward. The Octoberian baby is a sweet cherub, dimpled, cinnamony sweet, stubborn streaked, lyrical little cardinal. Down to earth, prolifically creative, a mental sherlock. Fixed in habits with generous understanding of others, opinionatedly amiable, and reclusively outgoing. Just the most delightful hobgoblin imaginable. Truly your offspring are among my favorite favorite great grandchildren!

with Love, your Great Great Great Great Great... did I say Great? Granddaddy,

Gregory Calendar
