Goodbye August and Hello September!  We’ve made some lovely memories in August and will continue to do so this month. September is a month of transition. As summer fades away, the leaves start changing colour, and the days get shorter. We begin to prepare for the cooler months ahead.

Here is a fun fact! – Did you know that August was originally the sixth month of the tenth month Roman Calendar and had just 29 days?! Julius Caesar added 2 extra days when he created the Julian Calendar, by which point the calendar had become 12 months.
