good-bye summer....
Somehow Fall slipped in!
"try to remember the kind of SeptemberJohn 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?
I haven't even put my summer pocketbooks away......I just slapped some Fall florals into them! LOL |
they are standing in front of the old radio I blogged about a couple of posts back |
Some cheery little Scarecrows jumped into my seahorses and peacocks that are on this fireplace mantel:
Swaying in the hot breezes......Spanish Moss and the last of the Crepe Myrtle blossoms:
The remaining ones were ripped off by Hurricane Helene's rampage through South Carolina and many other states the other day
"Mandy", our Mandevilla is blooming again, with her scarlet blooms
and my buttery yellow begonia has once again bloomed:
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!!!!!!
