Welcome to the season of
Fall/Autumn
Autumn’s Arrival
September 23—Autumnal Equinox
Fall begins at 5:05 A.M. EDT. The autumnal equinox is defined as the point at which the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator from north to south. The word equinox means “equal night”: Night and day are about the same length of time. In addition to the equal hours of daylight and darkness, the equinox is a time when the Sun’s apparent motion undergoes the most rapid change. Around the time of the equinox, variations in the position on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets can be noticed by alert observers from one day to the next.

Check your Sun rise and set times.
Why Autumn Leaves Change Color
Only a few of our many species of deciduous trees—notably maple, aspen, oak, and gum—turn vivid colors in the fall. Light or, actually, the lack of it is the main reason. The amount of daylight relates to the timing of the autumnal equinox. Read more about why leaves change color.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden
the gate to eternity.

Trust in what you love, continue to do it,
and it will take you where
you need to go.

Stress is not what happens to us.
It's our response to what happens. And
response is something we
can choose.

Be
sure to remove the cakes from the custard cups just a minute after
baking so that the cakes don't stick--and so you don't miss a bit of the
caramely topping!
