October is easily one of the best months where we live. The weather is wonderful, the biting bugs start to decrease, the colors start to really pop, and there are plenty of activities to appreciate. Actually, October usually explodes with things to do and see and we love it.
At the beginning of the month, we took the opportunity to walk in the garden before it closes for the winter. The garden never disappoints and our afternoon was quite enjoyable. We were welcomed by blooms bursting over the waterfall bridge and a stage stacked with harvest decorations, all for our enjoyment.
The Japanese Maple section of the garden is always super pretty. With the sun peeking through the orange, red, and yellow leaves, it was quite a sight.
We had a bit of fun interacting with the statues along the pathways to the real highlight of the afternoon--the wildflower patch.
It was well worth the short hike! Wildflowers spread out all over the hillside, bees of all kinds buzzed from flower to flower, and the sweetest flowery fragrance filled the soft breeze that made the sun above us so pleasant.
We lingered long soaking in the serene beauty. By the time we left, we were one of the last to leave before they shut the gates for the evening. If we're lucky, we'll make it back one more time before winter. But if not, these wildflowers have made a lasting impression that will stay with us for quite some time. :-)
