October Is Almost Here

General Information About October 

October is the tenth month of the year.  The first frost usually happens in October in the North Temperate Zone. Leaves change to their brilliant colors, and begin to fall, making the ground a beautiful haven of color.  Most birds have left for the south by the first frost.  Farmers bring in the last of the fall crops and either store or ship them to other parts of the world. In some parts, apples and grapes are still on the trees and vines. Many apples are harvested at the end of October.  Football usually dominates the scene in October. Hockey also begins it's season in October. And, the World Series will steal some of the spotlight from other sports.  The opal and the tourmaline are the birthstones for October. The calendula is the flower for the month of October.
