SEPTEMBERFrom dewy lanes at morning
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer
But none of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885)

"With summer's best of weather..." SO true! And with all the tourists gone it's the best time to go on vacation! Happy fall! -kate
September just seemed to sneak up on us this year. It doesn't seem that we had much more than a week or two of real summer weather this year, does it?
Canoez,
I think the continous rain in June screwed all of us up for the rest of the season.
Kate,
I agree! In some ways I get sad that summer is nearly over, but I also find September and October to be my favorite months.
