The season is turning
Michael September 17th, 2007
September is my favorite month. Within its days it holds the last vestiges of summer and the start of fall. The leaves haven’t started to turn yet, but I know they are only a couple of weeks away. Nonetheless you can see the signs of the turning season in the skies with the fall migration or in the farmer’s field as the corn turns brown, ready for harvest.
Ced Vig of the Rhinelander Daily News has more signs of September in his column. For example:
Cranberries soon to be harvested in Northwoods. Cranberries are one of only three fruits native to North America - the other two are blueberries and Concord grapes. This tasty little berry was a staple in the diets of American Indians long before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.
