September Girl

  Everyone knows I'm a
Summer Girl.

No one loves long, lazy days
at the beach more than I.
I wait and wait all Winter long
for
Summer
and when it's finally here,
I squeeze every last bit of juice from it.
Don't you?
 

But as August draws to an end ...
I know it won't be long before these glorious
Summer Days
will draw to an end too.
Even though the first day of Autumn isn't until
September 22,
something always happens in my mind
when I awake on September 1
and I find myself sighing and mentally
packing away my sandals
as I'm coaxed by nature to welcome in the
beauty of another Autumn to come.
And when that happens,
it's as if I can almost feel the Summer days
begin to fade a bit as they prepare to become
 sweet memories ...









This seasonal transition is always
accompanied by a melancholy feeling for me.
When I recently came across this
 David Yurman 2012 Fall Jewelry ad campaign film,
I thought it captured this melancholy feeling
so very well.
Featuring Gisele Bundchen, one moment the film shows
her swimsuit-clad and walking dreamily at the seashore,
as if this is simply a sweet Summer memory ...
and in the next scene she's dressed
 in a warm sweater or tweed jacket as if
she's preparing mentally for Fall ...
and when the song lyrics say
"Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to Hold You"
it almost seems as if it's Autumn's invitation
for us to enter her September Party.



Thank you for this lovely film,
David Yurman.

I truly do love Autumn and celebrate
and look forward to it's colorful celebration.
That's why I also consider myself a
~September Girl~

... are you?
Soft sweaters, the smell of new leather boots,
the magic of fall color,
apple cider and donuts,
cozying up to a bonfire,
the crunch of leaves under our feet ...
even the word "September"
sounds romantic to me.

~September~
The glorious month that introduces in the fall season,
 when trees don colorful ballgowns
and throw confetti all around ...
