September ushers in autumn, casting a spell of enchantment over the world. It is a month that evokes the magic in us as we feel the warmth of summer fading and witness nature’s mystical cycle of transformation. Vibrant greens give way to a kaleidoscope of orange, red, and yellow with leaves beginning their majestic change. The harvest moon invites us to reflect on the seasons past and the crisp air carries the scent of ripe apples and woodsmoke. Dry leaves crunch beneath feet as birds sing their final melodies before migrating to warmer climates. Baking spices and roasted nuts capture the fragrance of the season while crackling fires chase away the chill. As the days shorten, September beckons us to snuggle up with warm blankets, bewitching books, and apple cider cocktails. Grab a blanket, and I’ll suggest the books and cocktail!
