I thought I was the only one who felt a need for mashed potatoes, but apparently not. It seemed that everyone brought warm, heavy, satisfying dishes to the potluck this weekend. Then I was reminded that autumn is upon us.
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of fall for those of us in the northern hemisphere. If you want to get really precise, autumn begins when the sun is directly over the earth’s equator, which will be at 12:47 p.m. eastern time.
One of my favorite things about fall is the beautiful changing color of the trees. This is a great time of year to visit public lands if you really want to see a lot of color. The Forest Service even has a hotline you can call to hear predictions about leaf color, foliage peaks, scenic drives, and other fall activities in the different regions across the United States.
So get yourself ready for a new season. I’m looking forward to fuzzy, warm sweaters, local apples, hearty soups, pumpkin carving and taking in the fall colors. What do you love about fall?
