Hello all you beautiful people, I have missed you.

We are moving into fall shortly, but it's been an awesome year for me when it came to growing flowers. Most perennials have done their flowering for the year and will now rest until spring when they will show up again to make me smile.

SO...

When is the first day of fall?

The first day of fall can change, but the window of possible dates is quite small. Most years, you can expect it to occur on September 22 or 23. But every now and then it could happen on September 21 or 24. However, the last time we had a September 21 fall equinox was over a thousand years ago! And don't expect another September 24 date until 2303.

At this time of year in the Northeastern part of the USA the first sign of the coming fall is the temperature drop at night. I wake to much cooler mornings but as the day goes on the temps will rise to perfect 70-75 degree afternoons.

As a lover of flowers, I have trained myself to stop my daily doings long enough to enjoy the annuals I grow every year. I know within a few short weeks, every annual will be curled up and browning. All it takes is a temperature drop to 50, for most of them to die.

My favorite spot to enjoy the colors of these gorgeous cuties is in my front yard, facing the sun while lounging in the chair my oldest son built for me some years ago.

I will miss these days and all the beautiful color of my flower friends.
Thanks @riverflows!

Cheers!
