“You may never know what scarlet & crimson really are until you see them in their perfection on an #October hillside, under the unfathomable blue of an #autumn sky. All the glow & radiance and joy at earth's heart seem to have broken loose” THE GOLDEN ROAD 🎨 Brigitte Granton

“I went out and down the harbor road. There was such a nice frosty, Octobery smell in the air, blent with the delightful odor of newly plowed fields. I walked on and on until twilight had deepened into a moonlit autumn night. I was alone but not lonely.” ANNE OF WINDY POPLARS

It was an October of winds, small winds that purred in the valley and big ones that lashed the maple tops, winds that howled along the sandshore but crouched when they came to the rocks, crouched & sprang…green pastures lay here and there like patches on the sere harvest fields

“I’m so glad I’m going to live here. I’ve always heard that Prince Edward Island was the prettiest place in the world, & I used to imagine I was living here, but I never really expected I would. It’s delightful when your imaginations come true, isn’t it?”  ANNE OF GREEN GABLES

🍁 “I’ve come up to ask you to go for one of our old-time rambles through #September woods and ‘over hills where spices grow,’ this afternoon,” said Gilbert. #LMMontgomery ANNE OF THE ISLAND 🎨 unknown
