Here's one of several photos that Marianne snapped of fall color around her Bonner County Lovestead.

Almost all calendars here in the house have been turned to the new month.  A heavy blanket of cloud blocks the sun. Four layers kept me warm during this morning's walk. Pumpkins are turning.  Leaves are falling. I guess this all adds up to a perfect day for this year's edition of Oct. 1 to roll around. The earth here in the Selle area has received a good scrub down during yesterday's afternoon thunder storms, and the next several days promise what we all live for in October: fall days loaded with brilliance, crisp nights and the last beautiful hurrah before that dead season arrives. We can't waste too much time these daily gifts, as they suddenly seem dramatically shorter/Marianne Love, Slight Detour. More here.

Question: Describe your perfect fall day.
