“But now in September the garden has cooled, and with it my possessiveness. The sun warms my back instead of beating on my head … The harvest has dwindled, and I have grown apart from the intense midsummer relationship that brought it on.”<\/big><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/big><\/strong>– Robert Finch <\/span>\"\"<\/a>(Ahhhh, September… it is unusually summer like this September!)<\/p>\n
After school we sat in the front yard and played in the sun. It was very hot (above thirty) and yet we where playing with a tell tale sign that autumn will eventually win over summers end. We where crunching up dried leaves… I had a beautiful summer but I still love the changing of seasons. I adore autumn, for it is sweet and so short where I live. I am excited about winter, for I have plans to teach my oldest two to skate this year… forgive me if you do not share this anticipation… but it is inevitable and I get such a surge of energy when I feel the change in the air!<\/div>\n

“‘Tis the last rose of summer,<\/span><\/nobr>
Left blooming alone;<\/nobr>
All her lovely companions<\/nobr>
Are faded and gone.”
<\/nobr><\/span>– Thomas Moore, The Last Rose of Summer, 1830<\/nobr><\/span><\/p>\n

Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.
<\/span>– William Wordsworth, September<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
