Sunday’s Sunshine! #2

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday! Today we have a mix of sun and clouds with a bit of a smoke haze in the air as well. Today is the first day of September and the official start of fall.😺 Yes, it is true that the Autumnal equinox is around September 22,🙀 but that doesn’t hold true for the actual beginning of fall here in the north.

That works okay for southern locations or warmer locations, but here in the north it just doesn’t work true for us. Here in Canada our meteorologists always use September 1 for the beginning of fall, December 1 begins winter, March 1 begins spring and June 1 begins summer.

Bi-Colored Monkshood in the back and two orange daylilies in front.

That works for much of the country, except here in the north and further north even than us, our winters are much longer, usually going from November 1 to the end of April, and sometimes winter begins by early October.🙀

But at least it’s closer than the calendar seasons which make no sense at all for us northerners. I understand why it’s done that way, but it’s still crazy for us.😹 Anyway, that is to let you know why I choose the meteorological seasons.

A closer look at the orange daylily.

And today I have some nice later summer color for you to enjoy. Have a great day everyone and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
