A Second Spring

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

                        ~Albert Camus

Delicious Autumn!

Time for the annual sharing of one of my favorite quotes:

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. 
                                    ~George Eliot

Happy Autumnal Equinox!

It is the summer's great last heat,
It is the fall's first chill: They meet.
          –Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt




From http://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-fall-autumnal-equinox:

When does fall begin? The equinox brings autumn on September 22, 2013 at 1:44 pm PDT. Enjoy the first day of fall with poems, pictures, and more!

The word equinox comes from the Latin words for "equal night." The fall and spring equinoxes are the only days of the year in which the sun crosses the celestial equator. From here on out, the temperatures begin to drop and the days start to get shorter than the nights.
