Sunday Letter: 09.04.22

Sunday Letter 09.04.22

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

Are you as excited as I am that September is here? I treasure the change of seasons, and yes I’m counting down to the first day of fall. Nineteen days!

I’m also counting down to Bernice Runs Away which launches on October 1. Twenty-seven days!

You know what Gracie Lee Eudora Abbott would do? She would make a construction paper chain to count down to both of these important dates.

Sunday Letter

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

September is here, and I’m glad about it. I look forward to harvest time on the farm, the promise of cooler temperatures and turning leaves, twisty-stemmed pumpkins, and, yay, college football. With my favorite holidays waiting on the horizon so close we begin to count down—oh yeah, I’m a happy camper.

Of course, we still have a few days of summer left, but once school starts back it’s as though a switch flips in my mind. My focus turns from vacation and roasted marshmallows to tailgates and chili.

And even during a week of 90° temperatures, there’s already a touch of fall in the air.Continue Reading
