September is a month where I start feeling like things are changing. Maybe it’e because my kids are starting school again. Or maybe it’s because it seems the weather gets its crispness in September. Perhaps it’s when I start noticing the sky becoming bluer or the shadows getting longer. But September is a month of change. And I love it so much.

This year I feel as though we didn’t get a month of being in-between. It’s as though we went straight from a hot summer sun to a cold end-of-fall chill. Where did the 60 degree weather go? What about the low 70’s?? Perhaps we’ll still have a few of those days in the coming weeks, but it sure seems like it got cold fast.

My husband and I decided to take the kids out to the Chippewa Nature Center and have a picnic, possibly our last one until next spring. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the bug spray, so we both ate and got eaten. But it’s all good, right? What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? Those darn bugs! Arg, I sure hate mosquitoes. In actuality, they were around when we went for a stroll and not as much when we started eating. Thankfully.

And since the leaves haven’t started turning much yet, I took a few liberties and changed them myself in Photoshop. 😉 Come at me, October. I’m ready for you.

Let's be social!
