CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The autumnal equinox has officially commenced! In simpler terms it’s fall! As the sun makes its way across the celestial equator southbound the days get shorter and the foliage changes making for a beautiful site on every corner of the Queen City.
We tend to change with the seasons, our moods, clothing, hair, and most importantly, our activities. The weekend getaways transition from trips to the beach to trips to the mountains. ( Although I must say, a chilly, beach sunset sounds delightful!) We prepare to welcome fall holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving.
And if we’re being honest here, we tend to see cotton cobb webs and pumpkin EVERYTHING by mid-August. Hobby Lobby and Starbucks can’t seem to wait.
If you’re still in summer mode, it’s time to accept that Autumn is HERE!
