September

There’s a smell in the air today...it’s that rare and special smell that you only get a few times a year. It smells like fall is coming..........It’s kind of a combination of a smell, a temperature, a sense of relief and a sense of anticipation.... all rolled up into a ball of totally groovy feelings that stem from the wondrous and unencumbered feelings of joy I felt on similar days as a child. It’s a feeling that reminds me of bus stops, and fresh days in new classes, with new clothes and new books... flags waving against crisp blue skies and a shiny new key around my neck.
