October's Party

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came - 

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, 

And leaves of every name. 

The Sunshine spread a carpet, 

And everything was grand, 

Miss Weather led the dancing, 

Professor Wind the band. 

~George Cooper, "October's Party"

Do you remember having to memorize this poem in school? I had forgotten all about it until I saw it on a face book post this month. On a beautiful October day, I took my camera and went out into my yard.   These are my photos to go with "October's Party" by George Cooper. The poem I memorized in third grade.
