hello, september! i just got a little thrill from writing that. september. that word just rolls off my keyboard. 

september is a big deal. and i don't mean because the pumpkin spice latte is back. which is pretty cool if you're into that sort of thing. pumpkin flavors and steamed milk and whipped cream and all that nonsense. (just messing, i'm into it). 

september is a big deal because this means that i have won the war. i have made it through summer. i have sweated and melted and withered my way through the dark months of humidity. i have submerged myself in enough pools and sat in enough cool, dark movie theaters and waited out enough days in my frigid apartment and now, like a miracle from on high, september is here. 

it's still pretty toasty, but we have had some beautiful glimpses of the upcoming season. on a few mornings, i have walked out to my car and felt a cool breeze. heavens above, a breeze! 

and i even wore a sweatshirt outside last night. well, i put on a lightweight, 3/4 sleeve sweatshirt, and i sat on my porch very still after the sun had set. but it still counts. 

oh, september. i could just burst. but instead i will settle for music. 

here's to you, beginning of fall! here's to you.
