Welcome September

There’s something a bit sad about September.  I guess because it means summer is over. 

I’ve been out of school far longer than I was in it, but September still has the significance of "summer is over" (not that I take a summer vacation anymore…)

September comes from the Latin word "septem" means "seven" although it is the ninth month.

That’s because the Roman calendar started in March, not January, and September was  the seventh month (and OCTober was the 8th, NOVember the 9th and DECember the 10th.
