September

"By all these lovely tokens

September days are here,

With summer’s best of weather

And autumn’s best of cheer."

- Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885 -

I woke up this morning feeling energized and excited and with that fluttery feeling in my stomach. September does that to me. It’s a very magical – and nostalgic - time of year.

The weather is often quite nice with comfortable days and cooler nights; perfect for an evening stroll after supper.

September is the gateway to autumn; one of the prettiest seasons of the year. Soon enough Mother Nature will paint the town red, orange and gold.

And, of course, there’s the start of a new academic year. I used to love school and this time of year brings to mind many wonderful memories of days gone by.

Although it’s sad that summer is coming to an end, September arrives bearing its own special gifts.

Have a wonderful month, everyone!
