“But now in September the garden has cooled, and with it my possessiveness. The sun warms my back instead of beating on my head … The harvest has dwindled, and I have grown apart from the intense midsummer relationship that brought it on.”
– Robert Finch 
(Ahhhh, September… it is unusually summer like this September!)
(Ahhhh, September… it is unusually summer like this September!)
After school we sat in the front yard and played in the sun. It was very hot (above thirty) and yet we where playing with a tell tale sign that autumn will eventually win over summers end. We where crunching up dried leaves… I had a beautiful summer but I still love the changing of seasons. I adore autumn, for it is sweet and so short where I live. I am excited about winter, for I have plans to teach my oldest two to skate this year… forgive me if you do not share this anticipation… but it is inevitable and I get such a surge of energy when I feel the change in the air!
Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.
– William Wordsworth, September

I’m excited about winter this year because it’s been too hot to cook or bake, and I’ve vowed to actually use my cook books this year:-)
Also one of my favorite things about winter:) I love getting back into menu planning and WANTING to cook because it is so cold outside. I love cook books but lately I am totally into a few recipe websites. It makes it so quick to find a bunch of new ideas.
Which sites?
