Write about September Days.


Finally, a break from the ridiculous heat of summer. Rain softly soaks the ground, in preparation for the change of season. Though not official from the calendar's standpoint, there is definitely a change in the air. Gone are the triple digit numbers on the thermometer, and the burning of the hands against the stairway rails.

While there is a reprieve in some places, the Atlantic is in it's prime, churning out storm after storm, for this is the peak season for hurricanes. I can only pray for mercy, as my youngest and her family live not far from New Orleans, a magnet for such disturbances.

Hopefully the change of season will also help the firefighters in there never ending battle against the wildfires that wreak havoc upon the earth. A cooling down of temperatures and rain will surely be a welcome event.

Almost mid-September there are the holidays around the corner. However they are celebrated, it is a rousing time of year. How fast these days, months and years fly by.
