MAGICALLY, sometime between late August and mid-September, everything changes…overnight, it seems.  The summertime air vanishes, transforming into cool, blustery September temperatures… Sweater weather….open windows with breeze whisking through, unleashing a freshness to the lingering stale, humid smells of hot August…almost apple picking, school starts…energy levels increase and we are off….

I feel for those who don’t get to experience the change of seasons… It is what makes New England so special.  Between now and mid October, before the leaves fall to the ground and the snow begins to fall, it is the onset of something new…something good.  Forget New Year’s …or spring with birds chirpig and crocuses peaking their tiny heads from the ground.  September is the greatest. It lends itself to better thinking, less crankiness…faster movement…like getting a dose of high-potency vitamins…
