“I remember it as October days are always remembered, cloudless, maple-flavored, the air gold and so clean it quivers.”
~ Leif Enger, Peace Like a River
“In 2002, Peace Like a River was a National Bestseller and hailed as one of the year’s top five novels by Time, and selected as one of the best books of the year by nearly all major newspapers.” If you haven’t read this wonderful book, it is worth your time. Find it here.

What Leif Enger is trying to communicate resonates with me, but to me, it’s the October Blue that really makes fall pop; http://toddlohenry.com/2013/10/13/october-blue-is-my-favorite-color/
Thanks for sharing Todd.
I read that book and enjoyed it. The photo goes with it very well.
Thanks Anneli
such perfectly chosen words…it’s like that today.
It is exactly like that today Vicki…here too…
One of my favorite books of all time. Ever.
Another coincidence, one of mine too… 🙂
Uh huh.. Added it to my reading list (:
Let me know what you think…
I read it, too, enjoy being reminded of his eloquence. Coincidentally, I am in Montreal at the moment, celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving with friends and the days are exactly as Leif Enter describes. Such a treat for this Floridian!
Ahhhhh, Montreal is October. Lucky you…
