A clean slate
There is definitely anticipation in the air - literally. I stepped out of the bank last night to a honking announcement from the Canada geese overhead that they too feel the time is upon us to gear up for fall. They seemed exuberant despite the fact their “V” was a little sketchy - they appeared confident that by the time they lift off to migration they’d have the formation nailed. After all, practice makes perfect.
There are lots of clues the season is about to change - the squirrels in my back yard are stealing peanuts from the bird feeder in quantities that indicate they’re stashing them somewhere. The Barn Swallow’s nest over my neighbor’s side door has long since been vacated. The first leaves to jump ship are landing on burnt grass in my front yard. This is not my favorite time of year - it is at the point in summer where things are winding down. But, as mentioned earlier this week, September is just around the corner and with it all the promise of a fresh start.
I love a clean slate - even a self-contrived one. Perhaps you’d like to join me in celebrating the start of a new year on September 1st - stay tuned for a plan of attack.
