Sounds like song lyrics... 🎶 Always thunders in September But hey I remember It pours, man, it pours 🎶 (apologies to the Mamas & Papas, Albert Hammond & Mike Hazelwood)

That's a good song. September can feel more like the beginning of the year than January. At least to me.

It certainly can feel like things have made a turn. Here, today, it feels like I hope they make a turn soon. Supposed to be 33+C/92F That's hot for us

And we used to go back to school then and get new books.

In grades 1-6, we carried our pencils, crayons etc in an empty cigar box. Cigar boxes were cool, except for the cigars. I liked the way the thick lid fit down into the box to stay shut.

I seem to recall using cigar boxes, but I can't remember where we got them.
