It's hard to believe Fall is just around the corner. One of the most favored Seasons here at the home is Fall. Being here on top of the hill at Bethlen Home, you can view the beautiful colored foliage throughout the mountains. This is also one of the main reasons Ligonier receives so many tourists this time of year. I hope you will enjoy the following poem about September.

SEPTEMBER

Golden is September's sun, And purple is the haze Veiling distant horizons These glorious autumn days.

Purple are the clustered grapes, And gold the Bartlett pear. Golden is the new fall dress The maple tree will wear.

Golden is the hickory grove Down by the woodsy lane. Purple are the high piled clouds That indicate a rain.

Purple are the asters wild That by the millstream nod. Golden are the butterflies, Marigolds and goldenrod.

Purple are alfalfa blooms;

Last cutting time is nigh. V| Golden is the ripening corn,ü And gold is pumpkin pie. /

Gold and purple, queens adorn,

And monarchs call their due. September flaunts these gaudy hues,
