By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of weather
And autumns best of cheer.
— Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885
Fruit droops and plummets in the cool morning air of September. Deer browse beneath apple trees, drawn by sweet scent. It is an idyllic scene. The abundance of the land is ready for harvest. Many hands are busied preserving natures bounty. Gardens offer unexpected rewards, at this time.
