Editor's Note: September - Autumn is not canceled

September is the month when things start to transition. The kids are back in school, college is in session, pools are closing, fall events are ramping up (or are USUALLY ramping up) and autumn, the oh-so-coveted cool weather and pumpkineverything season is so close we can almost smell it.

But this September, most of our favorite events are already canceled (see Rachel’s Stew on That for her take on canceled events), football season may be played, but it won’t be the normal “Oklahoma” football season we know and love and almost every other in-person activity is either being scaled back, switched to online-only or canceled. It’s enough to make us extroverts feel like all is lost.

But there is good news! There are lots of events that are not canceled – family dinners at the table, game nights, cuddles on the couch, playing catch in the back yard – and best of all – there is zero chance of autumn being canceled. The leaves will turn their beautiful colors, the air will turn crisp, pumpkin-flavored everything will happen and we all will have a great few months to make some wonderful family memories.
