Saturday, September 1

September

Summer is over.  Can I get an "Amen"?  Maybe a "Hallelujah" or two?!

Or how about just "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."

At last, September.


September has come. It is hers
Whose vitality leaps in the autumn,
Whose nature prefers
Trees without leaves and a fire in the fireplace.
So I give her this month and the next
Though the whole of my year should be hers who has rendered already
So many of its days intolerable or perplexed
But so many more happy.
Who has left a scent on my life, and left my walls
Dancing over and over with her shadow
Whose hair is twined in all my waterfalls
And all of London littered with remembered kisses.

from "Autumn Journal" by Louis MacNiece

Are you (like me) a person whose vitality leaps in the autumn?

  5. Count me in for fall also. I've started pulling out my Fall "stuff" so my sewing room and upstairs family room look like Fall threw up.

  8. I LOVE fall! The leaves changing color, the cooler weather. Summer this year was brutal in the east. We are welcoming fall with open arms.

  13. I'm a summer girl, through and through, but who doesn't love fall? The great holidays, the great home decor—scarves and sweaters?? It's a great time of year!

    Only strange thing is that here in the Bay area, our "summer" is only just beginning! (Our seasons tend to be a bit delayed.) Oh well!
