Welcome Fall as Summer Fades

So long amazing Summer days, see you next year!

The Fall Equinox emerged around So.Cal.

last week in a blazing little heat wave.

The season shifts as we say goodbye

to many happy playful days of Summer.

I love the anticipation of autumn,

the energizing winds, gorgeous colors,

and joyous holiday planning.

It is a time for harvest,

a time to thank the Earth,

a time of mind to gather

our blessings and be grateful.

What’s so extraordinary about the Equinox?

Equinox was derived from a Latin term

meaning “equal night”.

On the first day of Autumn,

& the first day of Spring as well,

the nighttime is equal to the daytime

as a result of the tilt of our Earth’s axis

Everywhere on earth experiences

close to 12 hours of daylight and

12 hours of nighttime.

The entire world is unified

by this natural event.

There is balance in life.

"Come said the wind

to the leaves one day,

Come o're the meadows

and we will play.

Put on your dresses

scarlet and gold,

For summer is gone

and the days grow cold."

... A Children's Song of the 1880's
