Fare Thee Well, August, Greetings September!

August is naught;
 and September
 hath arrived this day in stealth.

~~~~~*~~~~~

By all these lovely tokens

September days are here,

With summer’s best of weather

And autumn’s best of cheer.

                             - Helen Hunt Jackson

In the garden Autumn is, indeed

 the crowning glory of the year

 bringing us the fruition

 of months of thought and care and toil. 

And at no season, save perhaps in daffodil time,

do we get such superb colour effects

 as from August to November.

                                                                                    - Rose G. Kingsley

The foliage has been losing its freshness

 through the month of August,

 and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself

 like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty

 who has seen one season too many.

                                                                                   -   Oliver Wendell Holmes

(True but ouch! LOL!)

Wishing you all an absolutely lovely September.

As always, thank you for your visit!
