Welcome September

September is one of my favorite months. For several reasons:

  • The ending of the summer heat.
  • The kids go back to school.
  • Apple season.
  • The best month for enjoying garden tomatoes.
  • My birthday is in September.
  • The first of the fall colors begin to appear in the trees.

I'm going to celebrate the new month by peeling and chopping more apples on Thursday. My friend just gave me a second bag from her apple trees. So, should it be sauce or pies this time? What do you love about September? I know my Australian bloggers are shouting "Spring!" :)

  4. Hm. I don't have a favorite month, or a favorite season. I can find reasons to be grumpy during any of 'em. Besides could you imagine a month on my blog without a "David'Z RantZ" entry?

  7. I love September... My sister will be 75 Sept. 2nd. When is your special day?

    Every September I change my bedding from the blue I use in Spring and Summer with the browns and greens I use in Fall and Winter. It's almost like getting new bedding.

    I also bought a fall silk arrangement today for the living room.

    Can smell those apples.

  9. Wanda ~ happy birthday to your sister tomorrow! :)

    I change my sheets twice a year, too...but in November they change to flannel and May they change to summery cotton. You probably don't need flannel every, do you?

  10. Well, from the other side of the world, I can understand your loving September because I love April here in South Africa. The weather is perfect and I always wish it could last forever.

  13. Oh how I love the golden days of September. It's when we finally start to get a reprieve from the extreme heat and the outdoors beckon to us once again. I say apple pies because I'm in a celebratory mood; apple pie is my favorite!

  14. I love September for apples, cooler temperatures, and fresh new smells in the air. This September is bittersweet as it brings back memories of last year. Now September will also be loved for memories of my dad, full woodsheds, and a last song on the harmonica. Tender and sweet, this will be September.

  16. Love the Autumn everything about it. Thanks for your kind words on my CT. You art is very good, I think. Besides look at all the hundreds of other good things you can do. I am so glad your son got good news on the scoliosis. We have two grands who have dealt with it. One wore a brace for awhile the other is outgrowing her. Blessing you Bets.

  17. Betsy, it's my favorite season as well, with Spring a very close second.

    I really like what rxBambi said about September being a month to fall in love. Hum, long walks on crisp autumn evenings. :)

    Here's to apple pie and a nice hot cuppa Yorkshire Gold:)...

  18. Septemeber is definitely the begining of the beautiful colors ! From leaves slowly turning orange to deep purple to the sun just letting it go to people shopping for gentle woolen sweaters, September is about change and it sounds very pretty in the mouth ! Nicely written.

  20. Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year. I would often visit my aunt in Illinois in October and sometimes we would enjoy an Indian Summer....wonderful. Days spent walking in the woods and gathering goldenrod.
    I would love to see the recipe also!

  21. Ha! I have to laugh how our minds are on the same thing today. I posted about applesauce! Isn't this time of year so much fun?

    ReplyDelete
  22. well, sauce is healthy but pie is delicious!
    and since it is your birthday month, go for pie :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I vote for pie also!
    Fall is my favorite season without a doubt. I love the colors of fall...the browns, oranges, yellows, greens and reds on the leaves in the trees. The heat is finally broken for good for us in Mississippi by the end of November...although we have celebrated Thanksgiving a time or two in shorts :)

  24. I vote for PIES!
    I love September too...I THINK this heat is suppose to break over the weekend...I hope so!
