September 1 - Ostrich Forecast

September's minor holidays.

"Weekly Forecast" crows the rusty weathercock, atop the iron cupola.

If you're, say, a food or a sentiment, and you want one day of the year to celebrate your unique contribution to the world, allow me to suggest September. The minor holidays are slim enough this month, we can take them categorically.
