Autumn Equinox 2021 in the Northern Hemisphere arrives at 3:20 PM today.
One day the summer storm is gathering,

and with it the passing of the dusty greens of late summer. At first they are replaced by autumn’s radiant display of hues.
This season of ever shortening days and longer nights requires a sorting down, a retention of bare essentials. Thus all that finery is tossed to the wind, left to crinkle, brown, decay and nourish the barren earth. Their hosts tuck themselves down for a long, restorative rest in order to enable their triumphant emergence, once again, come that forever hopeful spring.
Be like that.

Really excited to see fall begin here in Houston. Today our humidity is low and the highs are supposed to be in the low 80’s. Not quite cool, but a blessed relief from our summer inferno.
A raw egg can be balanced during the equinox (for a few hours on either side) and it will remain balanced until an outside force knocks it over.
Eggs cannot be balanced at any other time of the year.
