The "Ber" Months
There are just 3 weeks left until the "ber" months begin. September, October, November, and
December. Fall/Autumn begins in September and ends in December.
December. Fall/Autumn begins in September and ends in December.
Autumn begins in September, and is called that until leaves begin to fall, and then it's called "fall".
Sept means 7, Octo means 8, Novo means 9, and Deca means 10, but the numbers are off since the calendar was changed long ago from 10 months to 12. Ber is an adjectival suffix of Latin origin meaning "month".
Let's discuss it.
Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4, where we ask just 4 questions each week to encourage blogging and enjoying the ideas and work of fellow bloggers.
1. What foods make you think of the autumn months ahead? We are already hearing about pumpkin spice, but I don't care for it. Cooler temps make me want homemade soups or stews, and comfort-food casseroles.
2. Are there any songs you associate with the fall months? LOL... The Monster Mash for Halloween, and how about Over The River and Through the Woods for Thanksgiving?
3. Are you looking forward to the ber months at all? Why? Yes, I am looking forward to lower humidity and tolerable temperatures here in Florida!
4. School in New Jersey always begins after Labor Day, and before that I would have dreams of going to school in my pajamas! Did anything similar happen to you? Did you dread going back to school, or were you happy and excited? I have rarely ever remembered my dreams, but I loved school, so I was excited to get there and get on with it!

Thanks for your visit today!!
Peace and Hugs!
Over the river and through the woods,
To grandfather’s* house we go;
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh,
Thru the white and drifted snow, oh!
Over the river and thru the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and thru the woods,
To have a first-rate play;
Oh, hear the bell ring, “Ting-a-ling-ling!”
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day-ay!
Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day!
Over the river and through the woods,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go extremely slow,
It is so hard to wait!
Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hurrah for fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
