Hello Friend,

Welcome to September! While I hate to wish the summer away I am definitely a fall girlie at heart and always appreciate this season for everything it provides. The most important thing is hopefully a break in humidity and some sweater-appropriate temperatures. Fall is a great reminder that an ending mean there’s a new beginning right around the corner.

What to Direct Seed:

• Garlic.

• Milkweed and other native seeds that need the cold of the winter to germinate.

• Spring bulbs like tulips and crocuses.

• Trees, shrubs and other perennials.

What to prune:

• Lavender.

What to harvest:

• Tomatoes (continued)

• Cucumbers (continued)

• Some more apple varieties

• Peppers (continued)

• Carrots

• Cranberries

I always find September to be the busiest and the most expensive month of the year. I have this habit of ending up in the air and pretending exchange rates don’t exist LOL. I am, however, grateful I can afford the occasional trip.

My treat to myself this year was a summer off, or a corporate detox, so there will be no travelling this year. This time last year however, I was in Boston taking in the Long Live the Black Parade Tour.

Over the summer, I’ve enjoyed getting better acquainted with my home and delving into new recipes. One recipe I tried was Apple Cranberry Muffins inspired from “The Cranberry Connection” Cookbook which was a success and a perfect recipe for a fall harvest.

Wishing you lots of crunchy leaves, cool breezes and new beginnings.

Journal Prompts:

• What am I ready to gently let go of? (like the trees letting go of their leaves)

• What habits or routines do I want to recommit to now that summer’s spontaneity is winding down?

• What does early autumn awaken in me?
