There are just 3 weeks left until the "ber" months begin. September, October, November and December. Fall/Autumn begins in September and ends in December.
Autumn begins in September and it is called that until leaves begin to fall and then it's called "fall".
Sept means 7, Octo means 8, Novo is 9 and Deca is 10 but the numbers are off since the calendar was changed long ago from 10 months to 12.
Ber is an adjectival suffix from latin meaning month. Let's discuss it.
Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we ask just 4 questions each week to encourage blogging and enjoying the ideas and work of fellow bloggers.
1. What foods make you think of the autumn months ahead?
Squash soups, pumpkin lattes, apple cider, pumpkin and apple pies, pumpkin and cranberry scones; all these foods and drinks make me think of the cosy autumn months.
2. Are there any songs you associate with the fall month?
The beautiful Nat King Cole song, Autumn Leaves.
3. Are you looking forward to the ber months at all? Why?
Yes, and No. "Yes" because I love the autumn leaves. I also love the cool, crisp air & taking walks to enjoy and admire the beauty of the season. I also like wearing heavier clothing in fall colours and not having to worry about becoming too hot.
"No" because the older I get, the less I like winter. It's too long and too cold for me and the ber months means winter is close behind. Over the winter, I also miss the growing season, the colours of spring and autumn.
It's difficult to take a selfie of one's outfit (I don't like mirror photos)
4. School in New Jersey always begins after Labor Day and before that I would have dreams of going to school in my pajamas! Did anything similar happen to you? Did you dread going back to school or were you happy and excited?
I never had such dreams. Going back to school was always an exciting time. For some reason, kids like to go with their mother to buy school supplies and I was no exception. It was also the time when we got new clothes for school wear. In those days we didn't wear school clothes or 'good clothes' at home. We changed our outfits every day after getting home and wore our home clothes. Clothing lasted longer that way.
Thank you for stopping by my Tuesday 4 meme. I hope to read your answers too!
