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! 22nd September is the Autumnal Equinox

On September 22nd or 23rd, depending on the year, the September Equinox occurs. This is when the sun is directly above the equator, and day and night are nearly equal in length. In the Northern Hemisphere, this marks the start of fall. And in the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the beginning of spring.
