How are you going to soak up these final few weekends outside? No pressure, you have time. The official fall equinox takes place on Sunday September 22, 2024. At that time the sun will be directly over the equator allowing equal amounts of time for day and night. Spiritually, the equinox is considered a time of balance and change.

As the school year approaches, there's no better way to get back into the swing of things than with a good book.
