Welcome to Autumn!

Greetings everyone!  I realize it has been a while since I wrote on here and I'm sorry about that.  Time has really flown the past several weeks!  And the weather has changed quite a bit too!  Since my last post, we went from a summer heat wave to temperatures today struggling to get out of the 50's!  What a change!  In a way, these fall like conditions we have in Wisconsin right now is perfect to welcome in autumn with!  Autumn officially arrived to Wisconsin around 4:04 A.M. CDT this morning. 

This is known as the autumnal equinox, the time when the sun's direct rays cross over the equator into the southern hemisphere, signaling the end of winter there and our summer here.  As a result, you will likely notice the days getting shorter very quickly from day to day as we loose more sunlight thanks to the northern hemisphere tipping away from the sun.  In turn, our daily average temperatures will also start to drop, so I hope you're ready for the cooler conditions!  It's hard to believe the cold and snow of winter is just around the corner!  Until then, have a great day, and I'll try to post here more often!
