It Was One of Those Fine October Days

It was one of those fine October days free from summer’s heat and haze but not yet gripped by autumn chill. It was one of those fine October days when the sky’s so clear you can see the moon through the atmosphere at midday. It was one of those fine October days when the trees sport yellow and red instead of everyday summer green. It was one of those fine October days when one draws a deep breath and is grateful to be resident on Earth.
