good-bye summer....
Somehow Fall slipped in!
"try to remember the kind of September
John Sloane calendar, September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when you were a tender and callow fellow.
try to remember, and if you remember, then follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that no one wept except the willow.
try to remember when life was so tender
that dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that love was an ember about to billow.
Deep in December
it's nice to remember, although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
the fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December,
Our hearts should remember.....and follow......"
......1960 Broadway musical
Does anyone remember this old song?

| Pretty butterflies visiting I hope everyone is safe and that you had no damage from Helene. The devastation in so many states is just awful. We were without power here for a day, and so many are still waiting for theirs to be turned back on. So much damage to people's homes, livelihoods, cars, properties, towns, highways, and lives lost. It was a bad bad storm. We have alot of yard damage here, but our home is safe, and the big trees that came down narrowly did miss our guineas and chickens coops. We are grateful as it could've been so much worse. If you were in the path of this dangerous storm, how was it where you live? |
I hadn't thought of that song in forever! So happy to read the words and remember September. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love that old song! Thank you for sharing all of the words...I don't think I knew all of them before! Kind of a mellow song, isn't it? I'm so glad you are safe and doing well. Sad to see the last of the crape myrtles, but it's time. I'm so thankful the trees that fell at your place missed the chickens and guineas. That would've been really bad. We are very thankful here to not have had any damage at all, just some small branches down on our driveway from the big old oak trees, but nothing we couldn't take care of ourselves. We never even lost power. Many did, but it was spotty around here. We are VERY thankful indeed. I don't even like to look at all the devastation in the mountains anymore. It is just too too sad. Praying for so many. Now there is a chlorine gas cloud from a chemical fire in Atlanta area that is blowing into my nephew's neighborhood so they have to turn off their AC and keep their windows shut tight and not go out and breathe the air. Not a good thing at all. Praying for so many who may not know how dangerous that is. Yes, so much to pray for, and to be thankful for. (((hugs))) I am thankful for YOU!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteEven though the temps still say the last ends of summer, I feel, and smell spring in the air. Our leaves are brown and falling but I am so in the mood for the fall colors of orange, red and yellow. I have that round sign like yours also.
