September 2009

If you do the math, you would think September is pretty much like March.  Both months an equinox in them when you see days exactly half night and exactly half day.  The longest day of the year (June 20th or 21st  depending on the leap year) is the same distance away.  Thankfully, September doesn't feel at all like March - some years it seems almost as good as August.  Sadly by the end of the month, you are reminded that winter is unstoppable in it's approach and you might as well get the jackets out.

Ideally I was hoping to see tasty mushrooms I could take home, but I think we were just too early in the season and we just hadn't had enough rain.  I'm relying on my skills from mushroom hunting last year so while I saw mushrooms, I wouldn't call any of them edible because I couldn't 100% identify them.

Speaking of change os seasons, we decided to go to the Summer Night Market for a walk and graze the food stalls.  The night markets hasn't really recovered from the trauma two years ago - many of the stalls were empty (even in the food area) and the crowds we similarly missing.
