What I Like About September


Peaches, apples, tomatoes and corn available on the same day at the farmers market

College football

Boxes and boxes of new crayons

Little kids wearing backpacks that are longer than their backs

School shoes

College football

Lunch boxes with cool features like nifty containers and blue ice pockets

Cool nights, warm days

Thinking about wearing sweaters again but not needing them yet

Did I mention college football?

Dahlias, zinnias and sunflowers

High school marching bands

Kids dressed in new back-to-school outfits that will feel better when the temperature is 20 degrees cooler - "But, Mom! It's my new school outfit, I don't care if it's made of wool and the high will be 80 today!"

How about you?
