As the ninth month of the year, September marks the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere. Traditionally considered the month that marks transitions between seasons, it is often one of the most temperate weather-wise. Here are some interesting facts about the month of September.

September has three birth flowers: the forget-me-not, the morning glory, and the aster. Forget-me-nots represent love and memories, asters represent love as well, and the morning glory represents unrequited love. The birthstone for the month is the sapphire.

September has several United States and international holidays.

• Labor Day is the most well-known holiday in September. It is observed every year on the first Monday in September.

• Native American Day is always celebrated on the 4th Friday of September.

• Grandparent's Day is observed in the United States on the first Sunday after Labor Day.

• Constitution Day, celebrating the ratification of the governing document of the United States is observed on the 17th.

• The autumn equinox, which is the traditional transition from summer into fall, takes place on or around September 22nd, depending on the year.

There are lots of days dedicated to fun activities in September. Look out for these days.

• September 5th: National Cheese Pizza Day

• September 9th: National Teddy Bear Day

• September 16th: National Play-Doh Day

• September 19th: International "Talk Like A Pirate Day” (My personal favorite!)
