How About Both?
Happy September! I know the first day of fall is about three weeks away, but really?!?! It's only three weeks away?!? I always think of September 1 as the beginning of autumn and the end of summer. I honor the Solstices as well as the Equinoxes and I admit, I'm heavily influenced by the first of some months!
