Equinox: Fall

The first days of fall feel like breaths of fresh air with cool splashes of morning swirled within. The thermostat set at 55° fires up the heat throughout our cottage of a house and later as the afternoon sun tops 80° air conditioned coolness circles the rooms within – this surely is equinox – a startling play between warm and cool – between noon and long shadows across late afternoon lawns kissing the chrysanthemums into evening.
