It smells like September

When I went out for my walk at 6:00 am today it was still dark and it was still damp from yesterday's rain. The air had that end of summer feel and smell. You know, back from vacation time, back to school time, ready to harvest the corn time.

One would think that September was a kind of ending time, but for me it was always a beginning time. Maybe that is because there were always new projects or new classes that started in September. Maybe endings always signal a beginning.
