September might be the most anticipated month of the year. Fall is approaching, when leaves turn beautiful colors, the temperature starts dropping and the days grow shorter. The kids are safely ensconced in school and life is more predictable. Our favorite holidays are on the horizon, and the stores are full of Halloween paraphernalia with the smell of candles filling the air. And, of course, football is upon us, and we can root for our favorite teams (Go 49ers!) while the baseball season reaches the playoffs. Yes, September brings us the thrill of anticipation—a little like being 18 and walking into your first college party. Make every day count and enjoy the season! “It was September, and there was a crackly feeling to the air.” —CAROLYN PARKHURST welcome back
