September's Song

September is a cherished month.

The air is cooler and the sun shines brightly in clear blue skies, often dotted with marshmallow fluff-like clouds.

 

There's a hint of fall in the morning air and children are back in school. 

It's also my birthday month.

A dear friend in Arizona taught me to celebrate all the days before my birthday as well the actual day and then, all the days after!  What a great idea!

Sometimes the day's treat is as simple as an extra cup of coffee or reading a magazine from cover-to-cover.

The important thing is to do little things for one's self on a daily basis during the birthday month ( and maybe even a little beyond? ha!)

I've loved going to farmers markets this summer, stopping and roadside farm stands for fresh corn on the cob, and also driving to quaint orchards, such as seen in some photos in this post.

Lakeview Orchard in Lanesboro, Massachusetts,  has delicious produce, lip smacking baked goods and the most delicious Vermont cheddar cheese one can sink teeth into.

Melted on toast with slices of Big Boy summer tomatoes, the resulting sandwich is ambrosial.

Despite autumn marching quickly toward us, there has been no fall decorating around here yet since summer must be stretched to the nth degree!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT SEPTEMBER?
