Sometimes with all the stress and bustle that comes with September we forget to look up and watch the perfect colors and shapes. Take a break play in the leaves you just raked!
Pacey recently noted that the months are numbered wrong. The prefixes are not appropriate for their numerical monthly match - you would expect that Sept-ember would be the 7th month, Oct-ober (8th), Nov-ember (9th), Dec-ember the 10th. But most of us use the Gregorian calendar a reformed version of the Julian calendar which is a reformed version of the Roman calender all of which seem to be lunar shifts. The reforms were necessary to keep Easter and celebrations in tune with the actual celestial event they reflected Spring Equinox. It turns out that several days of the year fell under an unnamed months, this was corrected and leap days were added and now we have to remember that September is the 9th month of the year not the Seventh as its name suggests! To read all about it go to Wiki and get your fill.
These days I care less about what its called and more about the pleasure of bonus summer like days with cool evenings and all of those beautiful crispy leaves!
But in our neck of the woods we have to watch where we step as the creatures of fall are often right beneath your feet!!
The other colors of September are pretty great too - but I don't suggest jumping in the river with these Salmon no matter how pretty they are!
Get out there and enjoy the perfection of Autumn!
