Today is the last full day of Summer 2014

Most every moment of this spring and summer was a delight.  Many days, from early morning through the late evening, it was a sin to be indoors.

Tomorrow, September 22, autumn arrives sometime before the clock chimes at midnight.  The first full day of autumn is Tuesday, September 23.  There is always the promise of more nice days in the vestiges of this year, but we all know what the migrating birds and butterflies cannot keep secret; the best days of 2014 in the northern world lay alongside the shadows scattered behind us.
