Happy September, everyone! September puts fall on the brain, even as the remnants of summer stick around for a while after Labor Day. Around here, September sees hot days but cooler nights — a sign of the season to come. Autumn is tied with spring for my favorite season. I love the changing leaves, cooking dishes with pumpkin, going to the Renaissance Fair, and of course, Halloween.

I wrote a quick verse about the first of September, which is below. I hope you all have a good weekend, month, and season!

In summer’s warmth, the month of August
Seemed to disappear.
September rolls around the bend
To bring a cooler year.
