a world with octobers

november got here fairly quickly, it seems to me.  wasn't i just in sandals?  at any rate, i love this quote by the author of anne of green gables, "i'm so glad to live in a world where we have octobers."--l.m. montgomery

and this quote by renowned food aesthete mfk fisher, "one of the pleasantest of all emotions is to know that i, with my brain and hands, have nourished my beloved few, that i have concocted a stew or a story--a rarity or a plain dish--to sustain them truly against the hungers of the world."
