In Praise of September

September is such a busy month that most my of my life I have never really singled it out as a great month in the year.  Everything is still lush from our summer, only the most unhappy tree has changed it's colour to autumn tones and whole world is in a dizzy but beautiful last burst of warm temperatures.   Plus, we get to sleep soundly in the cooler temperatures at night.

Of course it is a busy time at the library.  All of our fall programs are starting up, and we are somewhat short of volunteers to help out with the 101 tasks in day-to-day operations.  A few souls actually continued to volunteer throughout the summer.  Such dedication!

I think everyone is effected by the school year, long after any connection to the school year is absent in a practical family way.  Case in point:  the school buses are everywhere in the morning.  Case in point no. 2:  all the back to school supplies in the stores.  Case in point no. 3:  .late in the afternoon you see a lot of youth walking down the street, on their way home.  Yes, fall is a special season that effects us all.   How does if make a mark on you?
