“See you in September. See you
when the summer’s through.”
Can you name that song?
Can you name that song?
Of course, “See You in September,” which was originally sang by the
group, The Tempos in 1959. It became much more popular when it was later
released in 1966 by the group The Happenings. Since then, it has been released
by various other groups like The Pacemakers.
It’s one of my favorite songs since Labor Day and September signal the
end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The clever landscape artists will
arrive in Pennsylvania
in four weeks and will paint our hillsides in colors of gold, scarlet, and
tangerine. Autumn brings cooler misty nights, foggy mornings, and warm sunny
days.
It’s sweat shirt weather and the sound of crackling leaves and the
bubbling laughter of children as they gather at the bus stop. It’s the smell of
wood smoke in fireplaces and outdoor fire rings. It’s also the most wonderful
time to play a game of golf in moderate, cool temperatures. The downside? Trying
to find your golf ball among the early falling leaves.
September also reminds us that we need to finish all those fair weather
chores before winter creeps up on us. The mild weather lets us reassess what we
hoped to accomplish and determine what we really need to get done.
For me, September is a new beginning and a chance to evaluate the
writing projects I want to complete before the holidays come galloping into my
life to distract me. I love September in Pennsylvania.
Enjoy the fall. And I’ll see you
in October—right here on this blog!

I have edited and released a second edition of “Up on the Roof and Other Stories” with a bonus short story
included. It’s a collection of nineteen eclectic—humorous and serious—short stories
exploring the lives and relationships of the young and old. You will laugh, you will cry, but you will be
able to relate to the dilemmas of the life.
A grizzled old farmer, Pop, climbs up on his farmhouse roof to meditate, check his chimney and antenna, and ends up talking to God on his portable phone in “Up on the Roof.”
In “Bald Revelations,” Maureen is convinced her husband of twenty years is planning to leave her when he purchases ten new pairs of black socks and starts singing Beach Boy songs

I've heard that song a million times, but I thought it was some group like the 4 Freshmen or Beach Boys. *g* Not sweatshirt weather here yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
