Hooray for the first day of Autumn. I live for it all year long. Of course it doesn't exactly feel like Autumn here in FL...but it is none the less. Great post with lots of nice information. Happy Autumn Equinox to you! :o)
Hooray! I know, it still feels like Summer, but hopefully it won't be long now. Thanks for all your wonderful comments and Happy Autumn Equinox to you as well!
I've got some dead branches for you. Now that's a sure sign of Autumn!
Must admit I'm new to the seasonal living precept, but I look forward to learning more. Glad I found this blog!
