How quickly the month of August went! It seems like just yesterday we stood on her threshold. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote so eloquently of this time of year: 

 “Alas for the pleasant summertime!  In August the grass is still verdant on the hills and in the valleys… and yet in every breath of wind and in every beam of sunshine we hear the whispered farewell and behold the parting smile of a dear friend.  There is a coolness amid all the heat, a mildness in the blazing noon.  Not a breeze can stir but it thrills us with the breath of autumn.”

 As we welcome September, I encourage you to seek out a copy of Hawthorne’s “Mosses From an Old Manse” (1854) and read “The Old Manse” - perhaps as you sit on your porch with a cup of tea in the afternoon sunshine.  I promise, you won't be disappointed.
