Time to say goodbye to August as we welcome September.
Yes, September is here and if you live in the northern hemisphere it brings the last days of summer and the first days of Autumn.
"September, in Old England, was called Haervest-monath (Harvest Month). This is the time to gather up the rest of the harvest and prepare for the winter months.
There are flowers enough in the summertime,
More flowers than I can remember—
But none with the purple, gold, and red
That dye the flowers of September!
Mary Howitt (1799-1888)
September’s name comes from the Latin word septem, meaning "seven" This month had originally been the seventh month of the early Roman calendar. It wasn’t until 451 BC that the months of January and February were added to the calendar, making September the ninth month.
The Romans often associated different months with different gods. September is associated with Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
September’s zodiac signs are Virgo (Aug. 23–Sept. 22) and Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22). Virgos are said to be analytical and hardworking people, while still being kind and loyal. Libras, on the other hand, value harmony and diplomacy, and are said to be both intelligent and kind.
September’s birth flowers are the aster and the morning glory. The significance of both flowers is actually very similar, with the aster being said to represent love, while the morning glory represents affection.
The September birthstone is the sapphire, which was once thought to guard against evil and poisoning. The sapphire, along with the related ruby, are the second-hardest natural gemstones, with only the diamond being harder

After the hot, very hot summer with 4 heat waves, we wait for September as we say around here, like May water.
Happy September
Best regards.
I am glad that I live on a country where we have all four seasons. As we approach Autumn I look forward to the changing colours.
Well, I never knew that! I'll be enjoying a pizza this evening instead.

I didn't know how September was named. That is very interesting. And The fact that January and February were added so long ago is interesting too.
I enjoyed the poem by Mary Howitt, very true.

The first month of meteorological fall. I didn't know that poem, thx!
Your post reminds me of famous performances (Andy Wiliams, Tom Jones and others) of the song 'Try to remember the Days of September/ When life was slow and also mellow'.
Happy September! A very interesting post about this month
such neat facts you found out about each month. Reading this reminded me that we have a morning glory growing by our bird feeder and we did not plant it so we are thinking it must have come from a bird carrying some seed.
Happy September!
I'm sat in September shade because it is so hot. But we have earned this because July and August were so awful.
Good information!
