Autumn Stroll Through Simsbury

It was such a nice sunny Fall day the air was crisp,

as I set out on my walk through Simsbury to my favorite store,

The Second Chance Shop, a local boutique Thrift Shop

that benefits the Village for Families and Children.

I decided take a few photos

Everything looked so nice with the backdrop of Autumn.

There are so many Beautiful Historic Buildings

in downtown Simsbury

I rarely stop to take a close look at them,

In the future I will make it a point to take a few photos

when I am on my lunch time stroll through town.

Spring Is Here?

Finally Spring Has Arrive

The Spring Equinox arrived 7:02 AM this morning

The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, night and day are about equal length.

Spring

So why does it feel like it is Winter?

This morning I woke up to another inch or two of snow on the ground, it was 25 degrees on my way into my office. And it isn't expected to warm up anytime in the near future. The high for the next 10 days is predicted to be 50 degrees Plus the weather forecast shows more snow early next week.

Last year our weather on the 1st Day of Spring

was in the 70's, the 2nd day of Spring March 22, 2012 was 81 degrees in Simsbury, Ct.

Fun Fact

According to the Farmers Almanac, you can stand a raw egg on its end on the equinox, a few minutes before the vernal equinox, several Almanac editors tried this trick. For a full workday, 17 out of 24 eggs stood standing. Try this yourself and let me know what happens!
