Fall Equinox

Autumnal Equinox

Summer came and went like a tropical storm.  School is back in session and that means the inevitable is happening.  Fall arrives  this year on Saturday September 22, 2018 at exactly 8:44 p.m. UTC.



Take some time and enjoy the last bit of summer weather and heat.  Prepare to watch the trees turn into their vibrant colours and the smells when the leaves fall.  We can all hope that summer lasts longer, however, they days are only getting short.
