September 2010
is the month of school, the classes, but also the resumption of activities generally. The magic of the holiday had reshuffled the cards of the time. We took the time to live. The joys summer, the reunion with family and friends will soon no longer as pleasant and nostalgic memories that help us live tomorrow.
September brings autumn tides, declining days, stirring daily routine. More than 1 January, 1 September marks the real beginning of the year, the real recovery with its procession of good intentions, wishes more or less utopian, they come from those responsibilities or those who want to be there! " Tomorrow will be new and will depend on us. There is less to discover than to invent (1896-1960 Gaston Berger, industrial, and philosopher, among other works "inventor" of the term "prospective" and father of Maurice Bejart.) This invitation is an invitation Gaston Berger to look ahead with confidence, without being overwhelmed by the disappointments of the past but without giving in to promises full of illusions, others who believe they are the best! Do not fall into old routines. The return can not be bitterness or that events principle with targets not always avowed ..
" Telling the truth about the reality of the country and the world, deciding with the constant concern of justice, act with responsibility in the balance of rights and duties: there is no other way to restore the respect that the French expect in their daily lives, professionally or privately, in their relations with government as with elected officials. Respect for people, of course, but also the authority of the law, values ... "You have to find the source of this quote!
News, discoveries, changes, probably demanding yet challenging, are scheduled. Do not miss the start of September. As for notebook schoolchildren, September is a new page to open.
And yet it is only the ninth month of our year, and has even been downgraded since its origin was in the seventh.
It is better for us it has kept its original name because he very nearly called Tiberius if Germanicus, Tacitus or even to follow the example of the months of July and August as we have seen. These innovations, motivated by flattery, to the Roman emperors were fortunately no tomorrow. After ninth in the reforms of calendars, when we first added January and February, to coincide with the time scale of the seasons, it has kept its original name. The Republican calendar, established by the Convention, did start the year with the month of Vendémiaire at the autumnal equinox, which corresponded to the creation of the Republic. The first part of the month was Fructidor, month of harvest fruits of the harvest that followed are now more and earlier! In September the apples are picked and gaulent nuts, especially for the Holy Cross on 14 " At the Holy Cross, picking apples and nuts rod. From 8: "A Good lady of September all fruit is good to take . There is urgent need to finish picking all the fruit because: "What August has not matured, it is not September, which will" and also: "In September, will cut what hangs . The grapes will mature on the same dates " A nativity, maturity begins . And again: " ripens in August, September harvest in two months, all well arranged .
The fruits of summer will make excellent jams. Remove pan, slotted spoon, ladle, stoner, sieve, wooden spoon and other instruments and get to work! Make jams brings the joys of creation, the happiness of the family to enjoy breakfast or taste, and is pleased to offer what is done by oneself. It revive a lifestyle and an era when we had the time to ... take your time!
The first half is still summer, often, but the second half is decidedly in the fall. The days have an average of twelve hours and thirty minutes, and will fall further in the month. Hence the recommendation of the Bourbonnais saying: "At the St Leu, lamp CLEU " and in our dialects of the South " Oou my de setembre, lou Caleu're a hang. " Lou Caleu: the oil lamp.
Despite the shortening of the length of day, the weather is still pleasant and the back end can be more beautiful than the primus tempus, Spring.
With a waning moon and decreasing until 14 September with promises that could be significant disruptions around 8 and 9 with large tidal coefficient 115, the moon at perigee and the new moon on the same day: "September wins or dries up the decks fonts. We have in our Midi the sad experience of torrential rains caused the now famous phenomenon Cevennes. . Yet these rains are beneficial in general and all the sayings of September the rent like this: "Rain in September Joy of peasant " or it "wet September not empty barrel .
This year 2010 we escaped the heat wave, but the lack of rain is important that this does not portend a good harvest of truffles!
September is a month when agricultural work is rife: " In September, the lazy can go and take . Begin plowing and harvesting approach: " Oou my lou rasin de setembre es bouen hanging . "September the valiant overworks the peasant."
It will be the end of the Muslim fast of Ramadan and the feast of Eid el Fitr and in the days that follow, for Jews the first day Hebrew year, or 1 tisserie Tishrei, the year 5771 date alleged in the first book of Genesis, the Rosh Hashanah holiday tracking of Atonement Yom Kippur. There are fears in each of these festivals disorders among neighbors and no one can forget a September 11!
September is the start of most migratory birds as " swallow September abandoned the sky cooled fall " and continue their long pilgrimage, often to Africa and warmer climates. September is last month's opening hunting.
September 23 is the equinox and the beginning of Autumn. In the Gregorian calendar, the dates of equinoxes vary over time. In fact the Earth's orbit is not perfectly circular and its speed depends on its position. Consequently, the seasons are unequal duration. Last year the equinox was on September 22. It will be again on this date in 2012. It will fall on September 21 in 2092 for the first time since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582. It will happen again in 2096 and again in 2464. He fell in a 24 September 2 times in the early nineteenth century and eight times in the early twentieth century, he falls for the last time on this date in 2303. Necessary adjustment of our calendars to the race time!
After the equinox of September 23, the feast of Saint Michael, September 29, has a great importance in the farming world. It is almost everywhere at this time that many fairs are held. We can say without exaggeration that the agricultural year was for "New Year" on the day of Saint Michael. At that time, the land is free of obligations. It does not harvest more and has not yet received seed. Plowing themselves begin only in the last days of September and ends in early November: " From St. Michael to Halloween, plows full speed. "
was the day of Saint Michael that traditionally marked the end of the lease rent, or they were renewed. Similarly it is the St. Michael being "poached" or "hired" the farmhand and other staff. Hence, for the St. Lambert September 17, this old saying that urged caution: " The feast of St. Lambert, who leaves his place loses it." In the second half of September, in fact, that is preparing, among farmers, workers and clerks, reciprocal commitments for the coming crop year.
The St Michael brand the last days of heat, " At St. Michael, the heat rises to heaven. "
It is time to expect the rains to fall there are fears that yet ..." When aoubo san Miqueou is tapado, ploou Quaranto pie day e uno pasado " " When the dawn of St. Michael is covered, it rains for forty days and more ... ! " Lei pluio san Miqueou, Soun Jamaican restado to Céou" " Rains of St. Michael, never stayed in heaven ..."
It should be fine between 13 and 19, crescent moon and yet down until the full moon of 23 which is in rising moon when she herself will decrease. It will be a another period of disruption and if you sleep poorly, you think maybe my column!
Good Fall Welcome back, good job!
A Diou Sias.
