The title is the first line of a song I learned as a kid. It was from one of those songbooks by a woman who's last name is Brady and all the songs were about seasons. .The illustrations were by Beth Whittaker; I know because I always see illustrations by her in the Ensign.
As I may have mentioned before, Autumn is one of my favorite seasons. If Elora had been a boy, I was thinking about naming her October....not a very good girl name though, as it is derived from Octavius Ceasar. (Just as August is from Ceasar Augustus...those vain Romans!)
Anyway, the song goes like this:
Remember September, October ,November
the wonderful months of fall?
Remember September, October, November
my favorite months of all?
The days get short, the nights get cool,
the leaves turn gold and down they swirl,
and all the kids go back to school.
Remember September, October, November
the wonderful months of fall!
I know its a little lame, but hey, its for Elementary age kids! Anyway, fall is in full swing here in the Northwest. Luckily, it hasn't been raining non-stop every day yet, so Elora and I have been able to take little walks around the apartment complex looking for cats and picking up leaves. Yesterday, Elora and I saw an orange kitty, a black kitty, a black and white kitten, and a part siamese cat, as well as a dog that barked at us and some squirels that were fighting. The first two cats let us pet them, the black one even jumped up on my knee. I told Elora it wanted a hug (She likes to hug her stuffed animals) so she started to hug it, but the kitty didn't like it. Poor kitty.
So we took Elora to a pumpkin farm this Saturday to take her one year pictures. What a perfect day! (Well, except for the mosquitos)
