What I love about SEPTEMBER…
I love love love September for so many reasons.
I love that August is over, summer is closing down, sending the sun home early at night to prepare for an earlier rise, to save a bit of our energy…allowing us to unwind from the long, hot days of summer. September is fresh grown apples (my favorite!) and sweet potatoes, oranges and reds and vibrant yellows gently surrounding us. It is leaves falling all shades of golden carried by the sweet September breeze coaxing the trees to let go of their deep greens in favor of the more interesting crimsons and burnt siennas and goldenrods. It is Fall. Autumn. My favorite time of year. I love September because of one my very favorite people in the entire world was born this month. I love it because it is a time of new beginnings. Distinct in its efforts to meld two of the harshest seasons together, a feat of wondrous proportions. A transitional season of beautiful colors and delicious harvests, a nip at night just enough for a sweater and I love sweaters! It is the relief from 100 degree days melting into one another, parching my energy. It is the rain that restores everything alive…everything the summer scorched.
I love September for soups and rooted vegetables. I love it for its early nights begging to be filled with the comfort of literary treasures new and old. I love September for its crisp mornings and breathtaking views. It is when the birds return to warmer places for the preparation of colder months ahead.
I really, really love September!

I love September also
I love the bright crisp days when you can walk for hours without getting all sweaty, when the air feels crisp and the bushes are filled with the pregnant fruit bursting forth.
I love the way the sun sinks low in the sky making dramatic shadows across the countryside and the way the morning glistens in the early light of day.
September, I think, is my favourite month
But I may change my mind in October lol.

I love september as well, because my son was born in September and the temperatures do start to cool a little. It also brings some rain to a normally very hot and dry area =)
