What is September like where you live?
morning had broken at the farm...
Here in Vermont it's a magical time. Each day brings surprises. It can feel like all of the seasons in a single day. Our mornings might hold the promise of spring, while the afternoon temperatures rise to the warm welcome of summer days. But by evening light we'll catch a glimpse of the vermillion color of the coming glorious Fall on the edge of a maple tree's leaf in the backyard. And deep in the night, it's time to haul out the extra quilt as temperatures dip into winter territory!
In September we get our frolicking children off to school and happily anticipate welcoming visitors from all over the world coming to see the incredible crisp beauty of Vermont in the autumn. We're baking....apple cider donuts, cobblers made of our summer bounties of peaches and berries. The air itself is infused with plummy richness of it.

And September is a time that the light creek or lakeside reading of summer transforms itself into deeper stories kept in happy anticipation of their company for longer nights by the fireside.
Happy reading. Happy September!
September in Arizona is the happy time when the heat finally abates, and the night temperatures get down into the low eighties and high seventies. The time when we can open the windows at dawn and limit the AC to the still hot afternoon hours, when the temps only hit 100F. Unless we have an Indian Summer, when the highs remain in the 100s until the end of October. Let's hope this is not the case this year. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to spend some September time with you and Ed for our book tour!
