October is the 10th month of the year according to the Gregorian calendar, which is used in almost all of the world today.
The opal is the birthstone for October and the calendula is the flower for the month.
It is always interesting to look at the calendar when a new month starts…I get a good laugh at many of the special days, weeks, and specials that last the entire month. Did you know that in October we celebrate:

I have to stop…there are so many other October events…but all of these are great!!
Clay has had a very exciting life and done so many varied events.

What is your favorite thing about October!
October is family birthday month! Octoberfest and of course Halloween! Thank you, CANN! Happy Monday!
Leaves changing color and stepping on the dry ones that fall from the trees to hear that crunch! The little kid in me!
The light in October is unlike any other month. It just seems to sparkle. I'm glad the acorns from my oak tree have finally stopped falling. I've been sweeping the driveway since the beginning of August! Thanks for all the photos & memories of Oct. & Clay.
Road trips to see the changing of the leaves – fresh dry air – and especially the Gala!
The ClayFans made the ticket sales needed – just checked – 401 sold!!! The fans and NIP worked so hard – Congratulations to All!
Love all of the pics!
