Back to School Quotes

While students start their school year earlier in the United States, Canadian children return the day after the long Labor Day weekend. I remember it being a good day and a bad day lol!

Bill Dodds

Back to school always always exciting because it meant a week's worth of new school clothes... at least for the first week. It was great until you became used to the outfits.

September Quotes for a Sunny Saturday Morning

- Robert Finch

Have you begun weeding your garden for fall yet??

"'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone."
- Thomas Moore, The Last Rose of Summer, 1830

Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.
- William Wordsworth, September
