First Day of Autumn 2022

I used to mark the seasons more enthusiastically than I do now.

Something about each successive year's repetition makes you lose the close tracking you may have kept I guess.

My favorite part of the Fall is the cooler weather.

Something about the white hot South Carolina sun just beats you into submission over time.

Those high temperatures have not yet betrayed the changing of the season but today is the Autumnal Equinox aka First Day of Fall.

Daylight hours start to diminish as the sun begins to cross the equator.

Autumn days become progressively shorter than the nights as the Sun continues to rise later and nightfall arrives earlier.

The Fall harvest and many ancient harvest celebrations of the pagan variety coincide with this celestial event.

I continue to abide strictly for the diminished temperature myself.
