The month that makes fall happen. Leaves change, College football gears up, time to dig the potatoes, start informal hunt season with the Miami Valley Hounds- tally ho! September- iconic song from Earth, Wind and Fire. September First.
Picture day for my youngest. His school pictures are always wonderful and amusing. Last year he must've put his head under a faucet directly before "Cheese". Head soaked and drippy glasses with an uncomfortable smile. You'd think in the age of digital, they'd be able to tell this isn't a good picture, but I guess technology has not changed the cattle-chute aspect of school pictures. In second grade he sported a preppy tie and sweater vest, in first, a closed mouth smile to hide his missing teeth. This morning I found him in front of the mirror, peeling his lips back in a grimace that made him appear as lip-less feral boy.
"Practicing for your pictures?" I asked doubtfully.
"Yep."
Oh my. Can't wait to see this one.
