Happy Mabon and first day of Autumn everyone.
Mabon, the second harvest holiday is being celebrated a little later than usual this year. Most of the time the autumnal equinox falls on or around September 21.
I see that many people love autumn. I noticed the other day as I was leaving the office; the light seems to have changed. It seems softer and colors of plants and flowers seem more vivid. The sun doesn't seem as harsh as it does in summer. It really is a time of reflecting over the year, wondering where the time has gone... and knowing that the cold winds of winter are right around the corner.
I'll be enjoying a nice glass of cider and a meal of fresh vegetables with friends this evening. I'll light a candle to welcome in the coming darkness.
Enjoy the first day of Fall, y'all!

We all have our rituals and traditions to celebrate the special and significant moments and times in our lives. Wishing you a joyous evening with friends and a happy fall :-)
Have a good Autumn, Jim.
I too love autumn time; pretty leaves, hot apple cider, pumpkin pie. but it gets dark so early (boo). and baseball season is winding down (double boo - but not for my team!).
time to pull out the books and the knitting and the sweatshirts for the cold nights/lazy weekends.
I love the solstices and the equinoxes, but I have grown to enjoy the marked times inbetween. It is good for the psyche to honor the seasons.
Fall is my favorite time of year as well. There's just something about it that makes me feel all happy, warm, and cozy inside. The smell of pumpkin pie and burning leaves are my favorite things about the season.
It is a good time for reflection Jim. hope you have a wonderful autumn.
