See you in September

Ahhhh, September. The most uneventful, hassle free month on the whole calendar! Excluding Labor Day which doesn’t count since it’s at the very first of the month. The month of September is a breather month. The restaurants are less nosy since school is back in session. The roadways are less crowded except for those long RV’s that seem to show up after school goes back. You don’t have to stand in long lines at the mall or theme parks and apples are absolutely everywhere!!!

The summer frenzy has slowed way down and the turkey has months to show up on your shopping list. It’s a laid back time where we get to enjoy the fall harvest of produce from our farmer’s long summer of labor. It’s the month where the last of the hay is put up for the harsh winter ahead and where our spring flowers have given their last efforts to bloom and begin to fade away.

In September the grass is still green and the trees begin to show hints of the beautiful array of colors yet to come. It’s a month in limbo, if you will. Not summer anymore and yet too soon to be fall. The perfect month!!!! The perfect month for traveling, vacationing and eating! All around you just can’t beat September!

September is an unappreciated month that lays quietly in wait for October where the air will be electrified with energy for the up coming holidays and change in weather. September is a transitional month. A month where the children have settled into a school routine and parents start living by schedules again.

The weather is highly unpredictable in September where you can enjoy a pleasant 75 degree Monday and experience the all too familiar fall crisp air on Tuesday. It can be a month of surprises where you get just a sample of all the four seasons rolled up in one. September is a fickle month that holds summer in one hand and fall in the other. She seems to be pulled into two directions not knowing which one to let go of.

We should not take September for granted. It is a month to be enjoyed, cherished and inhaled for all it has to offer. Take it for what it was meant to be, a breather month. Let the month of September rejuvenate you and restore your sprit for life.

So from now on I’m going to look forward to September and the entire uneventful ness it has to offer. Embrace it for all that it is and isn’t. Ahhhh September!!!
