September Crushes
Posted on | September 1, 2009 | 6 Comments
I adore September, and little boys hanging out in tree forts; back-to-school, back to routine. I love the newly sharpened pencils, newly picked apples, earlier bedtimes, scrambled eggs & toast for breakfast, new sneakers, and watching the pumpkins grow fat
Hand monsters.
September is perhaps my favorite month of the year, especially here in New England where everything is golden and lingering and lovely.
I kissed my husband for the first time 10 years ago on September 5th, and that continues to be what I consider one of the best decisions I ever made. (Have I mentioned recently how hot he is? Ever so. He’s like a good wine: keeps getting better with age).
Bean starts school on Thursday. He’s excited. Right now we’re in the backyard lolling in the sun. He’s lying on a quilt in his new tree fort (a post coming on that soon!) and we’re both eating plums and I’m thinking of stacking the final cord of wood, although a run might be on the docket.
Some recent crushes start off your week:
Sunday Suppers~such gorgeous food, I want to lick my screen.
thoughtful friday, oh hello friend, and kate neckel are some new blogs I am loving. And this post. Every bit true. Also this advice.

How do you feel about Bean starting school away from home? He’s my older son’s age, or about? 4 in October? We (Daddy & I) decided that he’s not ready yet. BTW–how many cords of wood?
I remember way back when my husband’s older sons (now 27 & 28) had moved out & we had to cut, split & stack on our own for the first time! We used to do 7. I felt mighty accomplished–I did all the stacking. Turns out I didn’t do it quite square–a few rows ended up falling into a heap… Now we live in Florida. Love being close to my parents, love the gulf, miss Autumn, miss a new snowfall, miss the smell of a wood stove.

I have been busy rereading the Harry Potter series. I haven’t read the last book, and I am sad that it will end, so I started over. So, I did some laundry, did some dishes, fed my kids, and read, read, read.
My thoughts have been in that “planning” stage. The basement needs to be cleaned and organized. School will be starting next week, and the start of September puts me in an organizing mode. I can’t wait to have a nice clean, organized house. Now, I just need to START.

I think I already wrote this but I love the new layout of your blog. Easier to read as well as being beautiful. I love September too and all of fall. It’s my favorite season–leaves falling, days slightly cooler with colder days ahead.
And happy six months to the little one! Beautiful pictures below.

Thanks for sharing the posts and links. I’ll check them out in a while. I’m coming to love September. When I was younger, I really couldn’t stand it. There was nothing interesting about it except for school. Now I’m in love with all of the opportunities that come with September.
