October in Poland

ENGLISH: October POLISH: Październik MEANING: Dry stalks of flax Like Michigan where I live, Poland is a good place to admire the colors of changing Fall leaves. It also can be very variable weather-wise. It can be sunny or cold and rainy but frost would be rare. Tomaszow Lubelskie (where Anthony’s relatives mostly originated) has weather similar to Grand Rapids, MIchigan. A high temperature here, on average for October would be 60 while there it would be 55. It is similar with the low temperature--here an average of 41 and there 39. The days get shorter, like they do in MIchigan, and by October 31, sunrise will be at 6:24 a.m. and sunset at 4:07 In Michigan our sunrise is at 8:17 a.m. and 6:35 p.m.. Poland has “No Shopping Sundays” except for seven Sundays per year. There are two in December but none in October. Like MIchigan, Fall crops in Polan of apples, potatoes, carrots, beet and pumpkins are still available.
