The summer season is almost behind us and it's now time to celebrate the month of September. The autumn equinox and the Harvest Season also fall in this month.

The autumnal equinox occurs most often on the 22nd, 23rd or 24th of September. This time of the year is all about pumpkin spice lattes, light cardigans and the beginning of football season. Wednesday is the first day of the month when everyone can start celebrating the cool air and prepare for the fun fall activities.
