In the north the hottest days are past. Each day is shorter than the last. Trees will soon turn brilliant colors.
Summer vacation is over and school is in full swing.
Everywhere, everyone seems more active and ready to get things done. Autumn is here, a time of change, because Earth has passed through the equinox . Far to the south, across the equator, spring has arrived. The snows of winter are gone, and wild flowers will soon be blooming. The world seems filled with new life, new hopes, and anticipation of summer fun.
