1) the weather
Gone is the oppressive heat and humidity of summer. By October, the weather (in the mid-Atlantic region) is perfect- temperatures in the 50s-60s, low humidity, and sunny days. The crispness in the air is delightful to experience, perfect for outdoor activity.
2) the colors
The leaves turn brilliant oranges, yellows, and reds as they enter their twilight . . . breathtaking.

3) the (lack of) bugs
Finally those buggers are gone. No more mosquito swarms or spider attacks.
4) football (and all sports)
October is that rare time of year when all of the 'big four' American sports (football, basketball, baseball, and hockey) are in season. Football, perhaps my favorite, is in full swing. Go Eagles . . . go Penn State!

5) pumpkin
Okay, this isn't all good. Here in America, we take everything to the extreme . . . and this season features pumpkin spice everything. But enjoyed in moderation, it's fun.

6) halloween & the macabre
For some reason, my children and I share a love of the gruesome. October is that time to think on the scary things. Curl up with your favorite Victorian gothic novel or ghost story . . . and enjoy the nightmares.

7) anniversary
Finally, October rocks because the month holds my anniversary. And what could be better than celebrating the love of my life? Awwww . . . .
