Did You Know?

September 21 marks the transition from summer’s warmth to fall’s golden glow. It’s the eve of the Autumnal Equinox, when day and night are nearly equal in length. From here, the days grow shorter, the air crisper, and nature begins its colorful transformation. It’s a perfect time to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of change.

What’s your favorite fall tradition? Let us know in the comments.

And for the record, our favorite is bobbing for apples!
