We Both Know August Is....GONE!!...............Hello September!! :-)

      Can you believe how fast the time is flying?!!! O_O I mean, I know I've been busy this month, but WOW!! Tomorrow will be the first day of September already!!...And no...the header photo is not from my backyard! ^_^ It was a gift photo from a fellow Etsian, Tamara. ♥
      
      Fall, or Autumn, is coming fast!!! I can already see the leaves dying on the branches as they blow around in the wind. NOT VERY PRETTY! LOL...But the colors that are coming soon WILL BE pretty!! ^_^ In fact, my latest crochet hat and brooch set has a kind of Fall/Autumn color pallette! :-)

      Pretty, right?! ^_^ 

      Well, they 'ain't no pancakes'!! LOL And that's what I'm suppose to be woofing down right about now, right?!! ^_^ Unfortunately, pancakes aren't on the menu today. Hubby is chicken-sitting for our friends again today, so eggs are on the menu! ^_^
      I guess I should be more precise and say hubby is chicken-sitting AND chicken-wrangling today! :-)) Somehow.....they got out!!! Ha! Ha! He has to 'wrangle them doggies' back into the yard....away from the neighbor's yards! O_O ... He is having waaay too much fun with those chickens!! LOL

       In other news, another treasury is here! ^_^ ...

      Now, I'm off to have a little lunch with the chicken-wrangling chicken-sitter! LOL No chicken is on the menu!! LOL Have a good rest of your Sunday, Everybody! ♥ ... {If you've been around here a while, you've seen this poem (below) before. But I thought it was rather appropriate today!..And besides, I can't be writing poems every day!! Sometimes you just have to know your limitations! ^_^}

Black is the night sky.
Brown is dog food.

Green is the grass.
Yellow is the sun.
Gray is the stormy sky.
Purple is just fun.

Pink is carnations.
Plum is a fruit.
Tan is for shoes.
Beige is just cute.

Turquoise is terrific!
Teal is where it's at!
Blue-green is the color
that I have to have...STAT!

Gold is a metal.
White is plain, mild.
Red is a fire.
Orange is hog wild! 

This Is What Fall, Or Autumn, Means To Me!

(Autumn Fall Print by CarolynCochrane)

        I know that nowadays when September rolls around, especially September 11th, some people's minds immediately go to tragedy...remembering what happened in New York with the world trade center buildings...

 (New York Cityscape Photography Print by debstgo)

       With nearly 3,000 people dying all at one time, it's understandable that September would take on a different feel...By the way, can you believe that was 11 years ago?! O_O

         But instead of remembering Fall, or Autumn, for tragic scenes of planes crashing into buildings, and fire and smoke......today, let's remember it for scenes like these...

       I'm sure you could add a few scenes of your own too. I know I could...but you would need 'smell-O-puter' for them! ^_^ Remember the smells of Autumn?!...Like the smell of fresh baking apples, cinnamon laden apple or pumpkin pie, roasted marshmallows, clove studded ham, etc.

        And the tastes of Autumn.....like hot apple cider, homemade cornbread stuffing with apples and raisins, sauteed butternut squash and onions, and nuts! All kinds of crunchy fresh nuts! :-) YUM!!! 

      It also means feel....the feel of warm scarves and gloves, heavy boots and hats, and soft cotton throw blankets, especially crocheted blankets! O_O I guess I better get back on that rainbow blanket, huh?!..I haven't touched it lately y'all!...*shaking my head*...Yes, that's what September, and Fall or Autumn, mean to me. :-) What does it mean to you?! I'd love to hear!...And have a good day, everybody!

Fall Is The Tree

Fall is the tree,
with its colors all set free
in the orange and red you see,
and the golden leaves in the
honey-colored harmony
of a busy bumble bee.

Its so beautiful that we
don't even have to pay a fee
for the stark tranquility
that just fills our heart with glee.

Fall is the tree,
and it makes us hit our knee,
and thank God so humbly
for the unlocked door and key
to our visual memory.
All the other seasons flee,
but the fall is the tree.       

September...Good Thoughts

       Yes...I know what's on a lot of people's minds today, and my heart goes out to the families of those who have lost someone they love. Death and change and bad memories are never easy. Thankfully I know that the world's future is shiny and perfect and fear-free. I'll be happy to tell everyone I come in contact with today about it.
        With the crisp September air coming through my window, and birds gently squawking their territory call, my hubby softly breathing beside me, and the silent whirring of my air purifier, I sit and ponder the 'good' of September and things that give me a chuckle or a smile. That's what I want to share with you today.

      Okay....time to close the window and wake up the hubby so we can get some breakfast before our early meeting today...Later on today it'll be watching the U.S. Open Tennis finals between Samantha Stosur and Serena Williams, and more crocheting on my Fall inspired scarf. (I'll show it to you tomorrow)
     Please find some time to think some good thoughts of September today. There's certainly going to be enough sad ones to go around...Here's my attempt at starting a September good thought for you today. :-]


September

The changing of the seasons,
squirrels that scurry everywhere,
a cup of steeping apple cider,
and the crisp and cooler air.

Cozy scarves and football games,
and harder to get out of bed,
worrying whether frost will come,
and what is flying overhead.

September brings a lot of thoughts,
and some reflection will be sad.
But as the years and seasons change,
good thoughts replace the bad we've had.
