What I’m looking forward to next month, in 8 sentences.
🏒🍂🎸🏒🍂🎸
NHL HOCKEY
Another hockey season begins (Oct. 9), and we masochistic Toronto Maple Leafs fans are once again hoping our team will dazzle in the playoffs, not just in the regular season, and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, win the Stanley Cup. It’s been a loooong drought! Last time was in 1967.
🏒🍂🎸🏒🍂🎸
FALL FOLIAGE
Our fall colours are coming out already, likely because of all the rain this summer. By October, the landscapes should be ablaze and I’ll be heading out with the camera.
🏒🍂🎸🏒🍂🎸
ONE MORE CONCERT
For me, a rock concert is a life-affirming, youth-restoring elixir! I missed those the most during the pandemic years, and have been making up for lost time. There’s one left for 2024, on Oct. 26: Iron Maiden, with special guests The Hu (not to be confused with The Who).

I didn’t realize it was THAT long since the Leafs hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup. What happened to them to have such a drought? Speaking of droughts, I like October … my favorite month, in my favorite season and the leaf color is fabulous here by then – usually anyway. Michigan is second in leaf-peeping in the U.S. behind the New England states, though maybe not so much this Fall because we are in a mild drought, having had just 0.06 rain in the month of September. So arborists say we may just have yellow leave that drop off due to lack of water. Boring if that happens, but luckily October has its other attributes, like weather and its enticing smells.
I’m looking forward to doing a lot of hiking in the mountains around me this October. In these parts, that is usually perfect temperature & weather conditions for hiking. Three hour hikes followed by a few beers. That’s my idea of a good day!

I hope the Toronto Maple Leafs razzle-dazzle, Debbie. We are on the same page loving fall foliage and rock concerts. Love Iron Maiden and The Hu. Rock on! 🍁
Looks like Iron Maiden will be coming my way also. I’m sure I won’t be going.
After some brutal hot days, I’m looking forward to some cooler weather.

How wonderful you get to see beautiful fall colors there.
Hope your favorite Hockey team does good. We don’t follow that, but we do cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs football team each year, and that’s always fun to watch on tv.
Yay for concerts, and I really like The Hu sounds and songs. 🙂
I cannot actually think of anything I am particularly looking forward to in October, Debbie. I am not a fan of the clocks going back, and in Beetley we don’t have the same amazing Autumn colours you get there. I don’t even celebrate Halloween, so I suppose that October is more or less a ‘non-month’ for me. 😊
Best wishes, Pete.
Forget Iron Maiden, I’d go just for The Hu – they’re amazing!
You are a hockey fan😊in 8 sentences, great! Very beautiful photos. The Iron Maiden video was very cool👍👍Have a good upcoming Thursday Debbie🌺
