Good morning!
It’s Sunday, and September is here. We’re standing on the wobbly log path that leads across the bog toward the edge of the pond that’s a lake (that’s a pond), savoring the sunshine and watching as a new month ripples across the landscape.
Today, as we do every year, we revisit the words of American writer, historian, and environmentalist Wallace Stegner. He clearly understood this day.
“[T]hat old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air ... Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”
― Wallace Stegner
Here’s to the jubilee of autumnal beginnings,
Clara
