Ah, September
There's a bit of a tradition on this here blog that has seen me occasionally wax a bit lyrical about Autumn, usually at the start of September, when it feels like the season is about to be upon us.
I tend to quote Keats ("Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" and all that), and talk about how even though it feels a slightly melancholy season, I think Autumn's my favourite time of year.
So here I am doing it again, and finding myself at a point where the melancholy is quite strong. I'm feeling a bit morose at the moment; slightly regretful about some things, and in need of snapping myself out of a bit of a funk.
Which I suppose fits well with a season that's one of the 'change' ones.
So welcome to September, to Autumn, and to the possibility of change

I wouldn’t feel so cheated about it being autumn if I felt we had had a great summer….

Whilst I would normally endorse anything that ensures non-meltiness, I do agree with Dave – when even *I* am feeling shortchanged by a summer, you know it must have been shocking!!

I must say I’m finding myself in a bit of the same mood. The shorter days (already!) are making me a bit sad and unsettled, lol. We (also) had what feels to be a very short summer! I do love the fall though, so I will enjoy it even as I mourn for the lost daylight hours.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so that’s always fun to look forward to!
