Can Fall be far behind? Unfortunately, in Miami that's usually a given. We rarely get any true 'fall' weather, though. Our seasons seem to be Spring, Summer, Hurricane, and OMG-it's-45F-outside-today!!!
I'm serious. :)
I used to love the beautiful fall days when we lived in Illinois a million years ago. It was a novelty to me, having grown up in Miami, walking through the crisp leaves and smelling smoke in the air and of course, actually wearing long-sleeved tops and not having a heat stroke.
Well, cool weather or not, fall brings the certainty of changes to my life. School is in session again and my baby is in her last year of Middle School. Next year it will be high school and all of the heartache that will bring to us, the parents. Our baby, our last baby, is a beautiful young woman now and I couldn't be more proud, but please? Can we slow it down just a tad?
The lazy summer evenings are giving way to busy-ness again as our church life kicks into high gear. Choir practice begins again this week (Christmas cantata anyone?), committee meetings are back on track, and tons of other places we absolutely have to be or face Dire Consequences™. (It helps if you say that in a deep voice and pretend there's an echo.)
So, we sit up straighter, dust off our Day Planners, set the alarms for an hour earlier and off we go.
Happy September. :)

oh wow, it is September! Finally a break from the heat - and I live in Seattle!!! :)
That's what I keep on telling my Australian friends - they don't really have a winter (even though down here in the south, in Melbourne, we actually DO have an autumn-like season), but they keep on insisting. Having grown up in Finland, where summers rarely even reach 25 celsius (and I don't know the equivalent for fahrenheit, sorry), and it's raining in the summer anyway, and then snowing in the winter, I don't believe in a winter that consists of people going around in shorts the whole year around. FEH, I say!
And yay for spring when everybody else has fall, hooray for Australia. *giggle*
