By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.
Helen Hunt Jackson - September

The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze.

I'm a big kid when it comes to steam trains. This one is even more unique as it runs on a special ratchet to get it up the tracks as the line is so steep.
The next two weeks will be very quiet because of the recessed end of year.
But tomorrow will be short, I'll expend almost all day cooking to receive my guests at the Christmas night.
Today was off, so I din't go to school. I slept until 11.
Two nights ago we celebrated Yalda and now winter has started. Yay!
I am feeling hungry.
Maybe they made it like circles.
Water melon called "hendevooneh" or "hendevaneh" in persian.
I'm thinking about a new motorcycle's topic. Should I? :-?
خواهش میکنم.ایا شما فرانسوی بلد هستین؟
ایا شما فرانسوی بلد هستین؟ means can you speak french, not are you french.
You had a nice Christmas, and I also like tofu and vegetable stew.
Are you learning Persian @helvio? :-/
As ever, I was kidding.
But one day, somehow, you and @Aladdin must teach me the alphabet at least.
I will teach you with pleasure my friend.
