If October gave a 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"

The leaves are falling and the air has turned from crisp to cold. Oh how I love State College in the autumn. Classes are in full swing and keeping me busy!! However, I have still found some time to enjoy the weather.
The mid-state trail on a foggy fall morning.
We have had a bit of rain here in Happy Valley. With every good rainstorm comes a rainbow! It wouldn't be fall without football!! Above, is the Rally in the Valley. This is how we get ready for big football games. In this case it was the U. of Michigan game. Joe Pa. had quite a bit to say at the rally. He had the crowd laughing the whole time.
At the U. of Michigan vs. PSU game. This was my frist ever night game. Despite valiant efforts, we didn't win. It's ok, we'll get them next time!!!
WE ARE...............
