Today is the first day of Fall! The autumnal equinox… Equinox of course means equal, today the night and day have an equal split of time. There is something very Zen like about the changing of the seasons.
The weather has dried considerably & some trees are starting to defoliate, like the Birch leaves you see in this short video You even get a glimpse of a pumpkin 🎃 Embrace the Fall, for it is here…
Time for a good Bonfire 🔥 Are you ready?!
Bonfire Time!
“But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous a– as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you.”
~ Stephen King
Have a Great day!

Here’s a link to more info on the 1st day of Fall 👇🏻
“Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day.”

The interesting Plant of the Day is the Marsh Mallow – Althaea officinalis
The Marsh Mallow plant is one of my favorites! The practice of cooking the plant juice/sap to make marshmallow creme dates back to ancient Egypt! WOW! Also a great aquatic plant that can grow in your Water Garden.
