Call them the last days of summer or the first days before the official arrival of fall. A traveler may find a certain seasonal confusion in these September days of high blue ocean skies and nights when bright star patterns dip low enough to touch. Blame the blur of seasons on the month of September, a golden time that celebrates the best of the Vineyard.
