October is the Month of Flaming Colors

October is the month of flaming colors, of nuts and ripe grapes, of the last flowers, of falling leaves, and of the first frosts.

The great event of the month is the change in the colors of the leaves. It is hard to say which tree puts on the most beautiful autumn dress.

The flight of the birds to the South continues.

Many animals are making their homes comfortable for the winter. The red squirrel, for example, gathers not only nuts for the winter but also berries. It likes mushrooms too, and knows which are poisonous and which are not, and the right time to gather them.
