U.S. FIRST DAY OF FALL, AUTUMN EQUINOX QUOTES FOR THE SEASON

Each year in September, around the end of the month, the autumn equinox brings a new season for those in the Northern Hemisphere. The equinox usually happens around September 21 or 22 and actually marks the point when the sun is as close as it will get to being directly above the equator. This also means that all over the world, there’s close to equal parts day and night on the equinox.

Aside from what the equinox means physically for the Earth, Autumn brings up feelings associated with preparing for winter, a much-needed break from the heat of summer, for some, and for others the excitement of pumpkin scented candles and the colors of changing leaves.
