Happy Autumnal Equinox/ Mabon/ First day of fall!







Today is the Autumnal Equinox ~ Alex kept watching all day to see if he could tell that the light time and dark time was equal :) He assured me he could totally tell the difference.
We had a few friends stop by, the weather is just amazing lately so we spent most of the time outside. I had grand plans of making some seasonal food and the planning just didn't happen this weekend (I do however have a much cleaner house) so we'll have to try again next year.
We had a great time outside though and have lately really been admiring our wide variety of mushrooms in the backyard. We have about 15 of the huge fairy tale quality toad stools and then countless smaller varieties scattered around.
Before supper we did make a traditional/seasonal type craft ~ a "talking stick" ~ we used a stick we found on the beach at Misery Bay on our Labor Day camping trip and each of us chose a stone or other natural item to decorate it with. The glue is drying tonight and tomorrow Alex wants to add some paint.
