Day 29: October Soundwave

I know I have already mentioned October music. We have Monster Mashed and hung out with the Werewolves of London, but there is another side to October music that I forgot about until last night. October has sounds all its own. There is the sound of the wind through the trees. That brittle scratching that makes one think of monster fingers rap, rap, rapping at your chamber door. There is the crunch of leaves as they are stomped on or the dry scrape as they are blown across the pavement. There are the noises in the night that we can’t quite identify so we pull the covers a little tighter around our heads. There is the bubble of the crock pot or cauldron ;) and the hiss of a teakettle as we dream of the hot cocoa soon to fill our bellies. There is the soft whisper of heat coming out of the vents warming our homes or the crackle and pop of the fireplace as we snuggle close. There is the harsh clang of icy rain on the roof or the crunch and squeal of ice scrapers on windshields in the frosty morning. Maybe it is the dry rustle of cornstalks in a maze or the happy squeals of children as they run door to door collecting candy. There are many sounds to October and with only a handful of days left to appreciate them I challenge you to take a minute and really listen amidst all the other noise that fills your life, then tell me your favorite October sounds.
