Autumnal Equinox

My favorite day of the year. The Autumnal Equinox heralds the arrival of autumn...fall. This is when I miss Virginia the most. When it is starting cool down and the leaves will soon begin to change. All I have here in Texas is record high heat and the threat of hurricane winds for the weekend. CRAZY

But back to autumn. I love it...or the idea of it. We don't really have autumn in Texas yet...not really until late October. But that is okay...there is still the promise of cooler weather...and maybe if we are really lucky we will have a few trees turn a blazing red or orange.

I start to wear autumn clothes too...sweaters and darker colors. Sure it is still hot...but I don't care. My dream was to get married in the fall. But I am marrying an athletic trainer which is like marrying a footbal coach. Fall is off-limits for anything but football games...oh well.

Tomorrow I will teach about my favorite day. What it means scientifically. We will wrestle with the word Autumnal. A hard word even if you aren't in 7th grade!

Well...of to grade papers. It is the final week of the six weeks. Happy Autumnal Equinox!
