The Month in Review: October 2012

Every month, when I finish my round up, I think to myself that next month can't possibly be as busy. But somehow, they just get busier. October, in fact, was a whirlwind. We so looked forward to beautiful foliage and were rewarded with some amazing color. And, oh, so many delicious pumpkin recipes. I was practically giddy when I opened my first can of pumpkin puree for the season. And let's not forget the apples and all the lovely things I created with those.

The Month in Review:  October 2012

October also brought me some terrific sponsors, whom I featured, and a detailed article on photo sharing sites that I was asked to write. Sadly, just as we were getting ready for the month's crown jewel, Halloween, we were faced with a dangerous hurricane and one of the worst storms in history. Hurricane Sandy brought devastation to so many. We were very fortunate to escape the worst of its wrath and we remained warm and safe and dry. Our hearts go out to those less fortunate. Perhaps this sense of gratitude is the perfect way to begin our countdown to Thanksgiving but for now, let's recap all the fun of October. Enjoy.
