Listen to "October Podcast Month: Caught in the Rain" on Spreaker.Assignment if you want to try this yourself:
Go on a walk around your neighborhood and pay attention to what you see, hear, feel, etc. Really embrace the physicality of being in this place. What are the seasonal themes you notice? Plants? Decorations? Weather? What emotional tones can you imagine going with these?

Image Description: three pterasaurs fly in a mobile made of twigs. Maybe these are actually just supposed to be cranes? I don’t know. I just saw pterasaurs!
