Hello September

I'm so happy that September is here, it's the beginning of a wonderful time of year.  Cooler weather will be here soon and football is in the air.  I hear the high school band practicing every afternoon and I'm spending more time on the porch.

I'm going to wait closer to October to decorate the house for fall.  Even though the calendar says fall, where I live the temps still say summer. 

September Trivia

SEPTEMBER BIRTHSTONE

Sapphire

September’s birthstone is the sapphire—a precious gem of wisdom, loyalty and nobility. This stone is said to focus the mind and encourage self-discipline.

When people say “sapphire,” they’re usually referring to the royal blue variety of this gem, although it can occur in all colors of the rainbow (except red, which is classified as ruby instead).

This lovely gem gives September-born babies a full spectrum of options when choosing the shade of birthstone that best represents them.

SEPTEMBER FLOWER

Aster/Morning Glory

These flowers represents patience, daintiness, and remembrance.   It conveys deep emotional love and remembrance.

According to the Georgian calendar September is the ninth month, but on the Roman calendar it was the seventh month.  September has had 29 days and 31 days, but since the time of the emperor Augustus, it has had only 30 days.

September is one of the warmest months in the Southern United States. ((Yikes)) 

Northern states have warm September days, but the nights get much cooler. It is also harvest time for crops. And, in Switzerland, it's called Harvest Month.
