And then it was September... | Summer came, showed us it's beauty, and then it was gone. July and August visited for just a moment. Bus drivers are starting their engines, teachers are opening up their class rooms, parents are returning to work. As we put away our camping gear, close our cottages, and park our trailers out comes the fall decor, the return to routine, and the promises of the later half of the year. So much to remember, and so much more to look forward to.
