Almost September

What is it about September? September is always a big deal for me....when I was young it was the first day of school and all that goes with that....the new clothes, school supplies, and meeting new people.

My sisters and I. I'm the one in the middle...with the necklace. Oh, so fashionable.

It was, and is, the anticipation of the Jewish New Year....wearing your best and getting together with family.....and hearing the shofar blown at the synagogue.

Man blowing shofar 

In NY September is the return of cool air and the smell of apples in the air as the first of the apple crop came in from upstate.

NY State produces lots of apples, like Cortlands and MacIntosh, two of my favorites and they are very good for you. Love them.

It's still special now. The kids are back in school and the buses are on the road with their precious cargo.

 It's hurricane season in this part of the world and the hubby watches the weather faithfully (old fisherman).

The remnants of Tropical Storm Erika....we dodged that one. Good thing because we've had a lot of rain....almost over the road. Picture courtesy of the Weather.com
