WELCOME THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

"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 days have the warmth of summer in their brief hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn.  The cricket chirps in the noontide, making the most of what remains of his brief life.  The bumblebee is busy among the clover blossoms of the aftermath, and their shrill and dreamy now hold the outdoor world above the voices of the song birds, now silent or departed."
          ~Rowland E. Robinson~

"September fattens on wines .  Roses flake from the wall.  The smoke of harmless fires drifts to my eyes.  This is plenty.  This is more than enough"
             ~Geoffrey Holt~

"When the goldenrod is yellow, and leaves are turning brown - reluctantly the summer goes in a cloud of thistledown.  When squirrels are harvesting and birds in flight appear - by these autumn signs we know September days are here."
          ~Beverly Ashour~
