October used to be the eighth month in early calendars. Here are eight things to do this month.
- Read a banned book during Banned Book Week (and all year).
- Catch a lucky leaf. Go on a run and if you catch a falling leaf midair, make a wish!
- It’s dew season. That means it’s cool at night, but not cold. Go for a morning walk and look for spider webs decorated with dew drops.
- Bake some barmbrack. his traditional Irish cake that may, or may not, give us a glimpse into the future.
- Confirm you can vote in next month’s elections. Local elections matter just as much as national elections. The deadline in PA is October 20.
- Have you gotten your flu shot yet? If not, do it today! The best time to get it is between September and October.
- Celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day and learn about the indigenous people in your community!
- Go birding on October Big Day on October 11!
