Can You Describe September Better Than This?

“The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze.”

- John Updike, September

How would you describe September?

My one-year blogging anniversary came and went yesterday.  I’m not one for big celebrations so I’ll just end today’s post with a heartfelt “thank you” for all who continue to visit, email, comment and support Turnstyle Vogue.  It has been a whirlwind year and I’m looking forward to my second-year adventures. 

Thanks for taking the ride with me!

Be inspired,
