So, before I talk about THE
MOVE FROM HELL, I’m going to ease back in with something else. Never fear, you’ll probably be tired of
hearing about THE MOVE FROM HELL, before all is said and done.
September! Yay!
It’s September! The first day of Autumn
is September 22. It’s going to cool down
– somewhere – it’s going to cool down somewhere not here. Okay, it’s cooling down here too – from 95°
to 89°. Of course, with 80% humidity, it
will likely feel like 107°. This is
better than 869°, which is what it’s felt like since June.
The leaves magically change
to beautiful colors . . .
Somewhere not here. Here the leaves turn brown. Has to do with the type of tree and the
amount of cold in Autumn (yeah, we don’t get much of that in September – cold).
But, that’s ok because here I
can walk barefoot along the beach in September and October and probably
November!
Here’s an odd fact - Spring,
Summer, and Winter all only have one name.
However, the third season has two – Autumn and Fall. And once upon a time it had another – ‘Haerfest”. Haerfest, which (used in the 12th
and 13th centuries) means the act of taking in crops, eventually
became called Harvest season. So, I
guess that makes four names. Most of our
crops have long since been harvested here but you know it is September when the
cotton fields look like this –
And then, like this –
What else is happening in
September, you ask. Well, it’s
Bourbon Heritage Month
An
observance in the United States that calls for celebration of bourbon as
America's "Native Spirit". Well,
whatever floats you along – I’ll pass, thank you.
Happy Healthy Cat Month
Pretty sure the Demon Duo fit into that category
of happy, healthy.
World Beach Month
An annual global awareness celebration to
remind everyone around the world the importance, beauty and enjoyment the beach
brings. See above!
Hummingbird Celebration Week
This is the month those little Hummers start
their long migration across the Gulf of Mexico to their winter home in Mexico
and South America. They travel nearly
4000 miles. It’s a good time to set out
your feeders.
And, finally, today is
Time's Up Day
Time's
Up Day is a day to let you know that if you've been waiting to make up with
someone close to you, that you've officially run out of time and it's time to
make amends. Life's too short to be on bad terms with those you care about. Think you have days, months or years to reach
out? Forget it – you’re not even
guaranteed a tomorrow!

Well, here I sit at the beach & Mike is drinking bourbon. Nice to know that we’re doing September things!
ReplyDeleteI’m eager to hear about the move!
That's the one thing I can always do in the fall is walk on the beach. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back. So you survived the move. And you have WiFi. This is fine so far.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I hope you and the Demon Duo are settling in after The Move From Hell. Enjoy Autumn/Fall!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see you are back. You have been missed.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
ReplyDeleteDo you have anything official on that "Time's Up Day"? Can you send it to me? There is someone I need to see it is official.
This is what I read about Time's Up Day -- "Time's Up Day is a day to let you know that if you've been waiting to make up with someone close to you, that you've officially run out of time and it's time to make amends. Life's too short to be on bad terms with those you should be close to you. This holiday is a copyrighted holiday that was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays". Glad to be back to the sorta normal world!
