One of our favorite memories is from many years ago, after I had been in school on one side of the teacher’s desk and/or the other, from age 4 to 39.  Since many are getting ready to go back to school, the days are getting shorter, the corn is tall, and local produce is abundant, fall seems close.  We bought a home that needed a lot of work, and one year around this time, I looked out the window and said to Karl, “The seasons are changing.”  But of course, if you are in the middle of a lot of outside work, or want to get a sailboat in the water, it’s great to remember the golden days of September ahead–that summer lasts awhile longer!
