(The scent of fall is in the air, so today I decided to repost this popular article from a couple of years ago. I hope it inspires you to help your residents enjoy these lovely, fleeting days of autumn.)

I adore autumn here in North Dakota. When the hot, humid days of summer mellow into the cooler days of fall, it’s wonderful to get outdoors and soak up the beauty of the season.

I’m also a strong advocate for giving our residents every possible opportunity to get outside and enjoy the wonders of nature. Over the next year, I plan to feature ideas for outdoor activities that can be done during each of the four seasons.

September nursing home activities

Most people believe that this phrase is the official motto of the United States Postal Service: “Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” 

Is that correct? Well, not exactly. The phrase became popular after it was inscribed on the new main post office building in New York City that opened on September 7, 1914.

As a result, September 7 has become a day to celebrate the postal service. Despite occasional complaints of lost mail or the rising cost of postage stamps, it’s pretty amazing to think that the USPS delivers an average of 484.8 million pieces of mail each day.
