There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on,
and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
October's birthstone is the opal. The opal is thought to have the power to predict illness. This is because the opal responds to heat. If you are sick your temperature increases before signs of illness appear. The increased body heat causes the opal to lose its shine, leaving it dull and lacking color. It is also said that the opal will crack if it is worn by someone who was not born in October.

PUMPKIN colored with black spots are entering homes to spend the winter.
They are harmless and will benefit your garden next spring.
Just before the death of flowers,
Just before the death of flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season
When nature is all aglow.
