October is a month of changes and far fewer chances for me to get outdoors..usually. This month we had ample opportunity to spend long days hiking and soaking in sunshine. My usual autumn blues have been kept at bay with activity to fill me up on the inside, gently easing into November and all its autumn-ness.
Thanks for sharing all your entries with the blog carnival this month since it is always fun to glimpse into your world too!
Our family’s October entries from this month’s study (in case you missed one):
- Yosemite National Park – Autumn Trip

Ash Tree, Witch Hazel, and Sumac Studies
Barbara from Schoolhouse on the Prairie has submitted their entry: October Challenges. They had some hawk observations, sumac study, and more.
Shirley from Under an English Sky also would love for you to pop over and see their OHC Sumac Shrub entry. They were able to find and identify this subject because of the OHC! Check out their lovely journals too.
