September 22 at 11:19 A.M. we will move quietly into Autumn. I didn't know that the equinox is not a day but rather a precise moment on that day. I looked up ours; yours will probably be different.
I consider Autumn to begin on the first of the September. Our weather changed so quickly from heat to mild days. I enjoy these mild days so much.. Last night we had a lovely rain and by 8:30 the sun was shining.
I've added a couple of facts from the internet ( because that seems to be what I do).
The autumnal equinox marks the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs when Earth's axis is not tilted toward or away from the sun, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths
Equinoxes are the only times when both the north and south poles are lit by sunshine at the same time.
Grandson C left this past weekend on a European adventure. He landed in Glasgow and sent Sheila (his Mom) these first of what will most probably be many pictures. I love the buildings. Solid and meant to last. After the first week ( if I got that right) he'll be joined by his girlfriend and they'll continue on their way.
Have a good week. Thanks for coming by.
I loved every single thing about this post. You certainly know how to welcome in the Fall season 🍁
ReplyDeleteHere also Autumn is arriving! 11degreesC this morning but cooler this afternoon and sunny 🌞 nice weather for me!
ReplyDeleteHe is lucky Scotland is such a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Lovely illustration. Autumn 🍂 🥮 begins September 20th. I love the crisp air and vibrant colours.
ReplyDeleteI hope your grandson enjoys his trip, it seems to be what many young people do nowadays. Good for them!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information on the Equinox. And how exciting a time for your grandson! Scotland is one country that my husband would love to visit.
ReplyDeleteThe time between heat stroke and frostbite..for sure. Or Crocs and Crocs with socks!
ReplyDeleteM will be joining C in a couple of days and then it's off to London! - Sheila
ReplyDeleteI love fall most of all and we sank into cooler days quickly thankfully as the heat was doing me in this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope our fall is long and lovely.
I hope your grandson enjoys the journey.

I thought I had it on good authority that the Autumnal Equinox was on September 21. Obviously I and my "authority" were wrong.
ReplyDeleteThanks for straightening me out.
I enjoyed the information you shared about the autumn equinox. Happy Fall to you! Summer heat has returned here to usher in the season. :/. I look forward to those cooler temps.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for your grandson to be off on a European adventure. Hope he has a safe and wonderful trip.
I did not know that about equinox. How fun for your grandson and his girlfriend to go on a European adventure. Our daughter did that one year with a group of friends and had the time of her life. The photos are wonderful! Enjoy these lovely fall days!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy Fall/Autumn.
ReplyDeleteI hope your grandson enjoys his trip.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteThat quote gave me a chuckle. It is true! I hope your grand enjoys all of Europe!
