Hello, September

Hello, September. We’re ready for you to slowly guide Autumn in as she greets us with a crown of wheat and jewel coloured leaves. We’re ready to continue our pace of Summer, we’re not quite ready for tomorrow to bring us our first official back-to-school day. 

We’re still ready to relish in the late Summer bounty of heirloom tomatoes, fresh corn and yellow squash. We’re ready for slightly cooler days mixed with sunshine. We’re ready for the magic that the air holds as we make the transition into Autumn. Apples are already hanging heavy on boughs. 

We’re sad to wave goodbye to this Summer. It’s been full, it’s been fun, it’s been what we needed, but we feel we’re just truly hitting our stride and we’ll be sorry to head back into the hustle and bustle of a new school year. But all chapters must come to a close, so new chapters may begin. 

Welcome, September. We hope you hold all good things. 

HELLO, August

Hello, August. We’re ready for the days to slowly stretch out in front of us, as we move more fully into our school summer break. We’re ready for days spent reading on the beach, listening to the waves roll the pebbles along the strand as it comes into shore.

We’re ready for ice cream for dinner during this mini heatwave and to eat our weight in tomato sandwiches with salty potato chips on the side. The heirloom tomatoes are really starting to come into the greengrocers and they taste divine. We’re ready to split PB&Js for lunch while watching an old re-run of “Bewitched”, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” or a great “The Brady Bunch” episode. 

We’re ready to have movie dates with our projector and our vintage 1960s screen. To munch on popcorn while watching a good summertime classic and being perfectly content. 

We’re ready to continue to enjoy our time together, relishing the quiet moments and the kitchen dances and the happiness that comes from sitting next to one of your favourite people. 

Welcome, August. Please, bring us all good things.
