September arrives almost politely.
It keeps the warmth of summer in the afternoons, lets the windows stay open, leaves the grass and woods looking mostly unchanged. But every so often a single leaf loosens itself and drifts down, then another, as if the season is quietly testing the idea of autumn before committing to it.
The light starts to feel a little lower. The mornings hold onto their coolness a little longer. You notice one yellow leaf on the path, then a red one caught in the ferns, and suddenly you’re paying attention.
September doesn’t take summer away all at once. It just begins slipping small reminders into the day that something beautiful is about to change.
