September marks the end of Summer and the start of the Fall season, with the Autumnal Equinox around September 22 or 23 when day and night are nearly equal in length. September is known as the harvest month, where farmers gather crops like apples, pumpkins, and corn to enjoy delicious seasonal treats. September's full moon is known as the Harvest Moon. Fall tends to be the perfect time for outdoor activities like hiking, playing in leaf piles, and enjoying the pleasant weather before the colder months arrive.

The name “September” comes from an old Roman word, “septem,” which actually means 7. That’s right – September was the seventh month of the year on the Roman calendar – It did not become the ninth month until the advent of the Gregorian calendar. Out of all 12 months of the year, September is spelled with the most letters. It contains nine letters, and it happens to be the ninth month of the year. No other months have the same amount of letters as their number in the calendar year.
