Dear September, so here we are. You just got here, and you will be gone again in a few days. We had such a good time together decorating the house with pumpkins, leaves, and fairy lights. I enjoyed your slow-paced days, your abundance of all things pumpkin-flavored, and all the new seasons of our favorite shows you brought with you. I love that your days are relatively free from the urgent feelings and pressure of the coming months, that your days are ones to just be, to take time to adapt to the changes of a new season and rest before all the holiday excitement begins. Thank you, September. For the calm, the beauty, the new school year, and the promise of all to come. I will miss you!
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends. Prayers for all affected by the hurricane. Stay safe.
Billie Jo
Google for the fun.
What a lovely post about September, Billie Jo! Hard to believe it is winding down and October will be here soon. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You have a wonderful weekend also.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall scene on your window ledge! And now I am so sad that September is leaving! But that's alright, we still have October!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to compose this blog post, writing a letter to September. I really like that idea and may do the same at some time. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe it has come and about to leave us so fast!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother month gone but I'm thankful for more rain. I enjoy seeing my pumpkin 🎃 by our house step. I wound up cutting off blackberry limbs and a few other things to get into the yard debris bin last evening and get it out to get it empty this morning. You have a good weekend too 😊, Becky
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend, Billie Jo. This was a fun post. I need to get my fall decorations out before October gets here! See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you September! You are one of my favorites and you never seem to disappoint. You set the bar high for the rest of the "ber" months!! BillieJo, enjoy your weekend:)
ReplyDeleteSeptember flew by here too. Love the cooler temperatures as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, September flew by much too quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing with words and I'm so glad September was so good to you. Here's to an even better October.
ReplyDeleteI really love reading your descriptive paragraphs on your blog.Have you ever thought of writing a book? I would buy it! :-) Yes, it's really hard to believe that September is almost gone already.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this post and this time of year. 🎃🎃🎃🎃
ReplyDeleteCan you believe it is almost October? Where has the time gone? Wishing you a beautiful day my friend.
ReplyDeleteSeptember and October are two of my very favorite months and I look forwrd to them during the hot, humid days of summer. Here's to Pumpkin Spice and Fallen Leaves-xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~ It's a sad goodbye to September... but I'm soooo looking forward to October! I hope to just drink in the slow days of October, because I know in November, the craziness of holidays begin. Loved your photos today, so Halloweeny! Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteSeptember passed by quickly, this year. I'm now looking forward to October, and embracing autumn. Xx
ReplyDeleteI’m with Jules, where did September go? October has always been my favorite month - finally cool enough for sweaters, bonfires, warming soups, and Halloween fun. My goal? To make it go as slowly as possible and follow your lead: to find something to embrace every single day. Thank you for the beautiful post - Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteSeptember seemed to come and then go in a jiffy! Hard to believe that October is day after tomorrow. I'm seeing pumpkin-spice everything lately. So far I've only gotten some pumpkin spice coffee but I'm sure I'll be bringing home some cookies or muffins soon.
ReplyDeleteI love Autumn and October is a nice month a sign that Xmas is approaching and then after Fall decorations there will be Christmas decorations!
ReplyDeleteYour words about September flowed like silk, Billie Jo. Such a wonderful letter to September. I think it's one of my favorite months. Your window sill display is so charming. Enjoy this month of October, my friend.
