I enjoy the colors of fall and the crisp air that brings back many memories of my youth when we would gather leaves into a pile and jump into them.

I seem to recall that kites were popular in the fall months and we use to go to the park and fly our kites high into the air.

Fall is also the start of the football season, something many of us look forward to each year.

September is a month where I like to reflect on the past summer and the things that I have done, the places I visited the events I attended and time spent with my family and friends
