First Day of Autumn

🍂Today is the autumn equinox which welcomes the first day of fall.🍂

In the northern hemisphere, the days start to get shorter while the nights get longer until the hours in the day and night are almost equal. And as the days progress toward winter, the sun's rays get softer while the air gets colder and sunny days transform to windy, cloudy and rainy days.  

The orange, crimson, and golden hues of the changing leaves, blooming chrysanthemums and pumpkin patches cast a warm glow on nature. 

Autumn harvests welcome back traditional culinary treats.  Apple ciders, hot cocoa, and pumpkin spice lattes warm our souls. 

We put on sweaters and knit scarves and seek warm shelter from the autumn chills.  We spend more time indoors and read books during the long nights. 

Nature slows while a string of sparkling holidays commence.  

🍂It is the start of the most enchanting time of the year.🍂
